Description
This is a new and unused gorgeous Vaquero bit by California maer Jim Thomas of Gerber, CA featuring amazing sterling silver filigree overlay.  The bit does show some very light rusting from storage as is typical of all steel bits.  The bit is in the style of Spanish and Portuguese Baroque bits.  The filigreee overlay on this bit is probably the most beautiful of any of the sterling bits I have available for sale.
This bit is a great work or show bit and the unusual design engraved on the shanks make this a very stylish bit for the show ring.
The bit has a Sweetwater style mullen mouthpiece that is pleasing to many horses and demonstrates
great balance, and feel that will translate to your communication with your horse.
The shanks measure 8 inches long with a 3 inch purchase for a 2.67 to 1 leverage ratio.  The mouthpiece measures 5 inches wide by 1/2 diameter medium tall US port mouthpiece.  The mullen mouthpiece has a 1 inch rise to the top of the port.
This bit will make a great addition to your show bit collection and is a useful tool to add to your tackroom.
