The design of this saddle is incredible. It is meant to be fully modular, with no nail or screws, all stitched and fully replaceable or to be able to add other items or gear to the saddle. 17 seat with a very all purpose/early dressage design. This saddle is from the WWII era and is in incredible condition given its age.
All leather, with some cracking, but nothing major. Has been well cared for and frankly, this saddle could still ride! Billets are sound all hardware is sound and is quite comfortable! Canvas underside that is flocked with horse hair. The brass cropper ring/tab on the pommel is a really cool part of this saddle. Comes with leathers and irons, but those are not original to the saddle. This saddle would be an amazing addition to a military or historical collection but could be gone over and ridden in again! We love this amazing piece of history and we know you will too!
