CIVIL WAR ERA TEXAS HOPE SADDLE.

CIVIL WAR ERA TEXAS HOPE SADDLE. Great early saddle of the type used by the Confederacy during the Civil War, particularly Texas Cavalry units. Our saddle is unmarked with about a 12″ seat; long front slick fork with large leather covered horn. The upper skirts are short and rounded with four sets of dbl. leather rosettes on each side with pigging strings. The inside skirts are square with old sheepskin lining. It is fitted with 8″ wide leather fenders and wide bent oak stirrups. The cinch band is very early braided horsehide with period leather fittings and iron buckles. CONDITION: Good to very good. The leather is sound and useable but in need of treatment. The seam down the center of the seat is open and the jockeys have been tacked into place. The fenders and stirrups are replacements and the rear skirt seam is laced with a shoelace. The sheepskin lining is good but dry. The pigging strings are replacements.
