EDUARDO GRIJALVA - Born in the small village of El Coyotillo (Magdalena, Mexico) in 1914, he worked on his parents\' ranch where he learned to repair bits and engrave conchos. E G\'s earliest bits were somewhat crude often inlaid with shiny metal from old silverware. He met Vaquero author, Arnold Rojas in 1949 who helped refine and promote Grijalva\'s talent. According to L J Vasquez\'s article in the 1985 Western Horseman, Grijalva is regarded as one of the finer bit makers in North America with \"every cheek piece, roller and mouthpiece made by hand – often taking 35-40 hours to complete a single bit.\"
I have some other Grijalva bits that I will be listing soon.
