Members justken Posted April 24, 2013 Members Report Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) This saddle is built on a McClellan tree but has a nickle horn on it. The model 1913 mule saddle had a brass horn that was a little larger than this nickle one. There are no numbers or maker stamps that I,ve been able to find.Was told that it was a postmaster saddle.Has felt lined skirts.Anyone know what this saddle is? Have fenders but stirrup neathers were to far gone to save. Edited April 24, 2013 by justken Quote
Members St8LineGunsmith Posted April 30, 2014 Members Report Posted April 30, 2014 I was going to sat it looks like a covered McClellan. Quote
Members oltoot Posted April 30, 2014 Members Report Posted April 30, 2014 Never heard of a postmaster's saddle in all my study of military history but separate procurement arms are possible, I guess. At any rate, now to pure old guessing: I vote for some early catalog offering to appeal to those with cavalry experience. Maybe produced for JCP, MW, S&R others. Interesting. Quote
