4.75″ Rocha Vintage Silver Engraved Frog Port Curb

$899.00

This truly is one of the most incredible bits we’ve seen. Truly a vintage bit, marked Rocha, and has been a prized piece in a collection for decades. Quite stately, sterling silver mounted in iron, with a ton of detailed silver work. Large concho on the shank, with a moon/C shaped detail right under, with silver carried through to the bit stabilizer. Slightly smaller 4.75″ mouth that is all sweet iron, thicker in diameter, with frog port and large copper roller. Port measures 1.75″. Shanks are quite short on this one at just 7″, with a short purchase. This bit is quite weighty, with great balance and feel. Has a bit of movement at the shanks, but not much. Mullen mouth. This is truly a vintage bit, showing some natural patina to the silver, bit of rust to the iron, and some browning/rusting on the iron shanks, but all very typical of a bit of this age. On each side of the half moon, there is a small fracture of the silver. These have been tacked/sealed by a jewelry, but is a blemish none the less. This bit is ready to ride or add to a collection.
