I found some buckstitch at Becks Leather online. Super nice people!!! I will post some pics when I get it finished!

Ok So I have a response from a saddle store in Ok. That was able to give me some info on my saddle. Tex Tan was next to useless lol. They said that more than likely the 1 is an I which would make it 704 I 30-05056. She said it should be a 1970 year model made is March. It is considered a Show Saddle and she has offered to purchase it lol. I still think I will just keep it and clean it up real good. She said I am missing some silver conch's and such and is going to send me a picture of what it should be.

I will have to buy it, unless it is something I can do at home with basic tools like a utility knife lol

I have just stumbled onto a Hereford saddle. My first question is the markings say 7041 30-05056 on the stirrup leather. What year might this be? Second is, some of the white buckstitch is gone and I am looking to replace it. What type of material would be best suited for this? I will get some pics up of it tomorrow morning!! Thanks guys and gals. Love the forum !!
