Here is the best I could do on the very faded maker mark

My father passed away recently and I inherited his old saddle. It is well used, as he used it for decades for guide outfitting, ranch work, and rodeos. The maker mark was difficult to read, but it looks like “The Great West Saddlery Co.” I have found out a bit about the company, and it sounds like they were in operation from 1880 to 1960. I’m wondering if anyone here can tell me how old they think this saddle is. Any other info would be greatly appreciated too.
