M1909 Cavalry Curb Bit--RIA 1916
Original immediate pre-WW1 US Army Cavalry M1909 curb bit, nickel steel construction complete with chain. Well marked size 2, NS [nickel steel], and U.S. on mouth bar, R.I.A. on one side and date 1916 on the other. Bit is still bright and shiny, right side bar is slightly bent out of shape but can easily be straightened. Curb chain is tarnished from age but will clean easily and is undamaged. Much harder to find than the WW1-era "contract" bits which... were made of plain carbon steel and were not dated. Nice piece for any US Cavalry/Punitive Expedition display or collection and is in very good condition. Any questions please feel free to ask.
