A classic California bridle bit. This is a one of a kind bit by The Old Spanish Trading Co.

Stern, Hernandez brothers, and Jesus Echavarría. With intricately chased iron, just like the old ones. Single point engraving on sterling silver inlay and large domed sterling conchos, set off against chased iron cheeks. 5 1/8” wide San Joaquin mouthpiece with a copper cricket and hood. Double slobber chains. Asking 495 obo.
