NWT Bob Avila Professionals Choice Bit Mounted Leaf Shanks Medium Port 5" Mouth

NOS with tag Bob Avila medium port bit mounted with nickel silver leaves and copper dots.Very early version when this bit first came out. Steel shanks are 7-1/4" inch and have picked up a nice blued patina hanging unused, indoors for almost 7 years. Bit is designed to rust for a superb cowboy look, or keep it lightly oiled to prevent/reduce rust. Good heavy using bit for more mature horses and requires light contact. The medium port is 2" high, offering good tongue relief and this bit works off bar and palate pressure. Copper bars make it palatable to keep your horse happy. Questions?
