Hello. Looking for a bit of further information on this Gin Trap. I pulled it out a river a couple of months ago while magnet fishing. It was a pile of rust and so have gave it a light clean being careful not to cause any damage. It works beautifully. I know there are some collectors on this page and thought they might be able to tell me more about it. As it was in a river possibly for otters? took it to a Blacksmith who dated the work early 1900's based on the style of rivits and general make up. Any info would be great. Thanks
