Thanks for the input Ken!

Yes Bruce it has ring rigging...Single rigged....I really like it and hope it checks out sound so I can ride it....You think I should get the wool replaced or let it be?

Thanks for the information on the book Bruce!! What a great story you have about your great grandfather!! Wish I could have been born a 100 years ago! I looked at the pictures of your saddle again and the tooling is very different...look at the seat on my saddle.....and I think mine is a 8 string and yours is a 6 but then again what do I know :o/

Thanks for the info Bruce!! If you have time one day find the book and give me the name please....I love the story about how your grandfather came to own your Duhamel

Hello all! I'm a new member on the forum but have been a reader for years....LOVE the site and all the great information!! I recently purchased an old Duhamel saddle and would like to learn more about it....Searched Google and can find very little information that would help me date the saddle or determine a value... I would like to use this saddle and need to have it checked out....What would be a fair price for a shop to check it for soundness? Here are a few pictures and any information would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance! TLM Magnolia TX.
