This auction is for a really rare officer’s horse bit –not much info. is available because there are so few in existence–this one is in amazing condition and is guaranteed to be original–I did find the date of issue by going to google and entering “Australian Crown Military Horse Bit”–the info. dates this bit to be from 1880-1893–it has writing or letters on each side of the S shank area–one word I can make out I think says Melbourne–the bit is 8 1/4 in. long and 4-3/4 in. wide–it comes with the curb chain hooks–no curb chain–if you are a military collector this will be a great find for your collection–thanks for looking……..
