Nice find! Thanks for sharing...

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!

Naw, a little bit northwest of there.

See you in Novimbah!!
