Ive got an old pelham and a couple of other bits but im most interested in the pelham.

Its made by Watson and is solid nickel- Thats the only it of info i have... Can anybody shed some light on it?

Could have been used as a Part of a Double Bridle Paddy, and being on the large side maybe a Hunter,s

Don't think thats a Pelham. I think its a Curb reversable bit. The bit is for 2 sets of reins, one top one bottom, or one set joined by roundings.

The bit is used for horses that are hard to stop. If the horse is very hard to stop you change the bit around so the rough side is at the back of the mouth, bit like a liverpool bit.
