1800\'s Rare Hope Antique Horse Saddle Very Collectible Cowboy Western History For Sale

This is an amazing piece of Western History --this saddle was popular in the 1850--1880\'s era--it is original as far as the tree and leather/rawhide on the seat--the fenders and stirrups have been reproduced--they look really good but are not original to saddle--if this saddle were all original it would bring several thousand dollars--as is --it is still a very highly collectible saddle as to style and how hard these are to find--I am calling seat size 13 in.--it has 2 rings on each side (double rigged) the horn is 3-3/4 in.wide--the fenders and stirrups match color wise and are a replica of what the saddle originally would have been made with--it is 20 in. long--the rawhide on back of cantle has a lot of stiching or repair on it--there is a tear on one side (see photo)--the saddle is clean and not falling apart and suitable for a collection if you like really rare early cowboy gear --thanks for looking.......
