Beautiful Mark Dahl bit from the 2000 Traditional Cowboy Arts Association (TCAA) Sale & Exhibition. Marked inside, “Mark / 2000 / TCA" & “Deeth / NV / #293". The bit is a duplicate of the one he made for the very first TCAA sale, except that first bit featured hearts and diamonds, whereas this example features clubs and spades. A true work of art, with fine engraving inside the cheeks, on the roller cover and rope motif. Triple slobber chains with a central heart spacer.

Mark Dahl, TCAA Emeritus
. "Though beautiful works of art, everything Dahl builds is also very functional. He strives to please the senses with his creations. The jingle bobs on the spurs and the crickets on the bits delight the ears. The silver is cool and smooth to the touch. Horseman often say the mouthpiece tastes good to the horse. And, of course, the bits and spurs he creates are lovely to look at." -- from the TCAA website, www.tcowboyarts.org.
