This antique, handmade Spanish horse bit was done back in the day when each Vaquero hand crafted his own bits. Inlay work on the shanks and purchase rings. It even has 16 penny nails to hook your reins to, (probably a modern adaption by a working cowboy, LOL). Although it has seen much use, it is useable, or would make a nice display piece. Mouth piece is 4 1/2 " wide, shanks are 8" long including purchase ring (but not including the 16 penny nails).
