Pauline Report post Posted March 20, 2009 Can anyone help me with information on this saddle maker? There is not a lot of information available on him. I would really like to know where he is from, if he still makes saddles, if not - when did he stop. Where his saddles were made. What his saddles are worth - etc. I would really appreciate any input. Thank you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Denise Report post Posted March 20, 2009 Pauline, His name has come up here before. Here is a thread where he is discussed. http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?s...d+Harsant\ The link from Barra doesn't seem to be working at the moment, but maybe others have more information about him.

I feel kind of silly that I missed that archive. That was very helpful. But yes, if anyone else has more info, links, and/or photos that would be great.
