The shaft has a flattened quadrangular cross-section, and engraved on both sides between the head and threading hole is a flower-head motif, with a flower repeated below the eye. Approximately half way down the shaft is a small stamp bearing the intials T.G or I.G.
The pin is bent, with a break at the bottom of the eye.
