I wrote a short blog about Hanoverian bits hereIt has a medium height port with three rollers on each side of the port. The rollers still turn freely. There is a hinge on one side of the port but not the other this is unusual, perhaps the bit was a special commission. It has curved cheeks or shanks which turn. The original curb hooks survive.
