Yours is the most gorgeous bridle halter combo I've seen. I'd love to have one just like it. the ones at our tack shop are a crummy compromise!
Yeah, most of 'em have brass-plated hardware. I hate that! It rusts. I like nylon or bio-thane for all my tack except the saddle coz you can just hose it off and hang it up and it doesn't get stiff or rot and the only way it's gonna break is if the hardware gives way.
