Confederate Cavalry Horse bit N/R


Nice battlefield pick-up Confederate Cavalry horse bit. The verbal history is it was picked up somewhere in Virginia, It appears this bit began as a US model 1863 cavalry bit, later appropriated by Confederate forces, due to the Confederacy’s lack of manufacturing facilities this was a common practice. The US brass rosettes on the sides were removed, and the ring rein holders were modified the iron rings, my guess is they were damaged or bent, and this ring arrangement was the easiest solution. The surface of the bit has deep pitting, typical of battlefield pick-ups. Rare addition to any Confederate collection. I have included a line drawing of the US version from Todd’s, (see below)


A rare and sought military antique pertaining to The War Between the States, conjures up images of the battles of Gettysburg and Antietam & Petersburg, battles between such notables as Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee, Union and Confederate Army forces battling under George Custer and Phil Sheridan and Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. Confederates fighting under the likes of Braxton Bragg, Stonewall Jackson, JEB Stuart and John Mosby. Soldiers and cavalrymen fighting sword and saber duels, musket fire, battlefield smoke and more. All of the elements stimulate interest, respect, and admiration which make the Civil War the most interesting era in all of American history.
