Description: This bit features a cut out snake design with hand engraved inlays and overlays. This bit is from a long-time collector and it has never been in a horses mouth, it was just on display. The silver has not been tested, but it's tarnished like sterling silver should be. Edwardo Grijalva was a well-know bit and spur maker form Magdalena, Sonora Mexico and this bit is old enough, and has the right appearance, that it was likely made by him before his passing in 1994, not one of his descendants (who carry on the Grijalva bit and spur making tradition, marking them with the EG* hallmark, to this day).
Maker: Hallmarked EG* (Edwardo Grijalva, 1914-1994).
Approx Age: Circa 1980s.
Size: It has a 5 inch mouth piece and is 7-1/2 inches long overall.
Condition: Good. Minimal wear and minor imperfections expected on used and vintage items. Please look closely at the pictures as they are an important part of our description.
