Key words: bit, Chernogorovka, Ukraine, Kharkiv Historical Museum, collections.

The bronze bit found at the beginning of 1990 in the Kharkiv Historical Museum was attributed as originating from burial 3 of barrow 1 from V.A. Gorodtsov’s excavation at Chernogorovka, the Kharkov area of the Ukraine in 1901. Recently found archival materials not only confirm such attribution, but also allow tracking interesting facts of moving of the bit to various collections, from the moment of finding, in the Great Patriotic war, down to the present time.
