10 1/2\" Rein Beaded ChainThis has been in the family for at least 60 years that I know of. I have tried researching this bit but all I could is that this design is very similar to some Vogt Bits. The 40 years in my possession, it was only used as wall decor. It does need a good polishing. I also conducted a Silver test using an ice cube. The ice cube immediately melted when placed on the bit. Please email with any questions. Thank you
