MODEL 1913
EXPERIMENTAL CURRY COMB-HOOF PICKS:
The Model 1913 Curry Comb with the integral hoof
pick was introduced with the
1912 Experimental Horse Equipments which are most
closely associated with the Mexican Punitive Expedition
in 1916. As these Model 1913 Curry Combs were used
through the remaining years of the United States Horse
Cavalry, finding examples in the condition of those
offered here is
almost impossible.
I have the following Model 1913 Curry Combs available,
each described below with accompanying photographs.
