Is this a Chifney?

Saw this advert - here - and not seen one like that before, wondered if anyone else had?

I thought they had a bend in them, bit like a wide mouthed grin (IYSWIM).
Not seen one like this before either, but then I'm no Chifney expert.

thanks, i have used the normal chifney but never seen one like this. Wasnt sure if it was some weird specialised one or just a bit of random metal!

Doesn't look like a chifney, more like a ring bit.

Is it a stallion noseband?

 

[rhino]

It's a ring bit. I think it's specifically a Tattersall ring bit
