He was born on October 13, 1923 and passed away in 2009. Eduardo Garcia's bit and spur custom pieces are distinguished by the maker's mark E. Garcia and signed pieces are rapidly becoming collector's items. This beautiful bit is in well maintained pre owned condition with some light rusting on the inside of the steel cheeks.
This is a very well made custom bit with a really cool tapered 1/2 inch diameter by 5 inches wide ergonomically shaped forward tilt 1-1/4 inch tall low curb mullen mouthpiece.
