This design was used by the military because it was a "universal" bit - they often had reversible mouthpieces and the choice of rein slots made it suitable for many different horses.
The mouthpiece has a low port.
Each cheek has two slots for the curb rein.
One cheek is stamped "R.H.A." (Royal Horse Artillery), "B" and "4".
