CAVALRY OFFICER'S BRIDLE BIT, model 1812, First Empire. 16985

Bridle bit of the so-called “pigeon-throated” shape. The barrels are almost straight, from the bottom of the pins to the heels, to provide better support on the bars. In its upper part, the branch forms a banquet with a rectangular “eye of the banquet” opening. The lower end, or the bottom of the branch, ends with an opening in the shape of an upside-down heart, commonly called “the gargoyle” (it is intended to help buckle the rein holders when their rings are broken). The underside of the gargoyle is drilled with a hole intended to receive the rein holder reels furnished with their rings; the rear end of the gargoyle has a hole where a chain is attached.
Length of the branches 17.3 cm, width of the mouth 12.5 cm.
Entirely in filed wrought iron.

France.
First Empire, posterior chain.
Good state of conservation.
