are 3 very old, est.1840-80s, Mexican hand forged iron ring bits. All quite solid. I know it looks like a torture device. They have large 2 1/2" ports with a 4 1/2" attached rings to the upper portion of the port, The bit is about 4 1/4" wide with a copper mounted rollers. The horse's lowered jaw fits through this ring, it worked much in the same way as a curb chain, but obviously with more leverage. They were popular in the southwest from 1750-1880. Has a super nice patina. I sell all my listings WITHOUT a RESERVE. Payment is due within 9 days or I may re-list the piece! Study the pictures before bidding, and ask questions if you are unclear about anything, be sure item is what you want before purchasing, because I DO NOT take returns. We described things as best we can but we are not experts in every field. You may know more about the item then we do. You are the judge as to quality and value. I try to list several new items every few days, so keep checking my listings that include many early Western and Mexican pieces, Their are only 3 ring bits NOT 5 as in the title .. that was a typo, Sorry
