Hey old farts! I've got a question really quick, this isn't exactly the thread I usually post on but I know most of you have a lot of help to offer. A friend of mine has a antique horse bit, we do not have any pictures currently but I may be able to post some later. He brought it to a leather dealer and the man said that if his memory recalls correctly and if it was what he thought it may be, it would worth quite a large sum of money.
Okay before I write a novel, if anyone can help me find a decent appraiser around the San Diego/Oceanside county, or anywhere in Southern California for that matter, or when I can post pictures if I can get a few rough estimates it would be much appreciated. Good day folks!

Send me a picture and tell me the markings on the bit and I can probably tell you what it's worth..
