A branch or pad cheek steel bit. The mouthpiece is stamped "Stainless Steel". It has a low port. The fixed cheeks are curved, each bears a rein loop, there is a curved shackle bar. There is an oval silver coloured cheek boss on each side of the bit. In the centre of each cheek badge there is a Lancaster rose and a crown, surrounding these there is a border which reads " Lancashire Constabulary". The crown pictured is the Tudor crown - this means that it is later than Queen Victoria but before Queen Elizabeth II - so 1901-1952. The bit is in excellent condition and could be used today.
