Civilian pattern curb bit

09-29-2006, 04:03 PM

I was wondering if any of the mounted civilians here knew of a good source for a civilian curb bit and/or bridle set up. I can make the bridle/halter/saddle, but am lacking the bit itself.

Thanks in advance,

Wanted.

All ladies in Houston and surrounding counties who have cloth on hand, which they can spare, are requested to donate it to the ladies of Crockett for the purpose of making petticoats for the Minute Men of this county, who have "backed out" of the service. We think the petticoat more suitable for them in these times.

Cody,
If theres someone making one I havent heard of them. I lucked up and got one off of Ebay, and even it is a question mark. John Nolan looked at it and said its a good period bit but I sent Ken Knopp pictures and he thinks its late.
