5.25″ Vintage Engraved Western Curb Bit

This is a really cool older bit, coming from a horseman who collected some very cool pieces. Not branded, but is a nice made bit. Frankly, this is a solid knock off of a Sliester, with a very similar look and construction. 5.25″ stainless mouth, a bit thicker in diameter over the bars, thinning towards the center. The shank and bit stabilizer are fully engraved in a classic floral pattern. Longer shanks at 8.5″ (9″ to rein rings). Nice weighty bit with a nice balance and feel. In very good used condition, showing some natural patina.
