4 3/4″ Vintage Silver Engraved Curb Bit

Here is a really pretty, older bit.  A vintage piece, in really great condition. Just a bit smaller than a 5″ mouth at 4 3/4″, with a low port and all copper mouth. Straighter, Visalia style shanks that have a nice look when hanging while being used, measuring 8.75″. Not sterling, likely German or Alpaca, but stunning nonetheless and clearly hand engraved with a refined look. The silver has tarnished with age and time, has a nice patina which we have not shine dup. This bit is absolutely stunning and would make a great show bit, or to add to a collection. Not marked, but is clearly an outstanding quality bit. This is a high end, vintage, engraved bit. Well cared for, no major signs of wear, natural patina to the silver. Very well balanced. One that is show ring ready but would look fantastic as part of a collection.
