Bridle Info Needed

[1st Maine Trooper]

Folks,
I'm looking for the specifications and measurements for a Federal six buckle bridle. The Ordinance Manual of 1861 only lists the three buckle specs.
Thanks,
Dave Myrick

Bring your camera, measuring tape and notepad and pencil/pen to this weekends event. My several originals will be available for you to take pictures, measure and take notes.

Or take a look at ord. memoranda 18 from 1874 . There it is stated that the dimensions of the bridle are the same already in use only the hardware was changed. Besides that I have measured 3 original 6 buckle bridles so far they ALL differ significantly from each other!!
