This wandered in yesterday and I have not been able to determine the model of it. My references stop at the Model 1863. So what is it?

 

Many thanks for your help!

That is a Model 1859 Curb Bit No. 1, also known as a ring bit or Mexican bit. This type of bit could exert considerable pressure on the horse's mouth and required a skilled horseman to keep from ruining a horse.
