MODEL 1912
EXPERIMENTAL CURRY COMB-HOOF PICK – VERY GOOD CONDITION:
This M1912 Curry Comb, introduced with the other
1912 Experimental Horse Equipments, is an excellent
specimen in very good condition. The metal body shows a
few very minor spots of aging, still retains 99% of the
bright finish, the teeth and bars are all straight and
appear never to have been used, and overall shows no
sign of wear and only the faintest indication of
storage. The web handle is likewise clean, however there
is one spot, on one side where the webbing attaches to
the body that has a rust stain and a small ½ ” wear
spot, likely caused from being shuffled back and forth
in the crate against the sharp teeth of another comb.
The incorporated folding hoof pick is fully functional
and swivels freely. As these M1912 Curry Combs were
used through the remaining years of the United States
Horse Cavalry, finding examples in this condition is
becoming increasingly difficult. (0324) $125
