Bombers Tom Thumb Colin Miles

Bombers Tom Thumb Colin Miles bit. Brand new!

The main difference however is that instead of the additional rings at the bottom it has an extended shank with a ring on the end, this shank is bent and set to run at 45°. The effect this has is to ease up the poll pressure and leverage on the mouthpiece.

Please note that the sweet iron fades to brown with use or any oxidation.  This is normal.
