MODEL 1885 WATERING BIT AND REINS – EXCELLENT
CONDITION: As issued to each trooper to
complete his inventory of horse equipment, this Model
1885 Watering Bit and Reins was used in conjunction with
the halter to control his mount en route for the daily
watering of the animals. Fitted with permanently sewn
on, full length black leather reins, the bit is a simple
snaffle equipped with two snaps hooks to attach to the
halter cheek strap squares. This set is in excellent
condition with the reins showing little if any wear or
aging, retaining a bright, smooth surface to the leather
with no crazing and the steel bit retains much of the
original arsenal applied blued finish. A very nice set
to display with your Indian War cavalry equipment. $200
