This is an old steel Hanoverian horse bit with a dark patina.
I wrote a short blog about Hanoverian bits here.
It has a medium height hinged port with three rollers on each side of the port.
The rollers and hinges still turn freely.
It has curved cheeks or shanks which turn.
The original curb hooks survive, but one has lost its tip.
One cheek is faintly stamped "Whippy" the other has an illegible stamp
Dimensions : Mouthpiece 5" (12.5cm), total
cheek length ( not including curb rein rings) 7" (17.8cm)
Weight : 340g (12oz)
Ref : bit933
