Perhaps not the type of bridle you envisioned, but no less a bridle all the same.::)

No. 6 in the exploded view of an 1859 Sharps:

Thank you, vpnavy! We've dug a good deal of cavalry-related stuff, but this is the first bridle I've ever recovered.

To answer a question in your signature, I don't live in Florida, but spent my first 45 years in Hillsborough County, about two miles north of where USCENTCOM resides today. I would love to "Fly Navy" but missed my chance!
