    Description

    US Army, WWI, Field Artillery Snaffle Bit. US and maker marked (BTC = Bridgeport Tool Co.)  These bits were used with the teams of horses that pulled gun carriages.  In use from 1911 through WWI-era and beyond until the Field Artillery was mechanized in the 1930's
    .
    Nice original bit, heavy pitting in many places, some even gray finish in others.  US and BTC still legible.
    I have a super nice example also on auction.
