M1885 Tinned Shoemaker Bit
This is a crispy new looking M1885 pattern Shoemaker bridle bit. It has RIA stamped on the off side shank. It has the 1/2 inch mouth piece. . Complete with original lip bar, it shows little if any use. You will not have to upgrade this bit. Exactly as used by the Rough Riders.
