Re: Mexican McClellans
Does anybody know what model this is? It had the English flap but retained the quarter straps. Would they have had a 1904 model? Anybody know anything about Mexican military saddles? Are the stirrups on your saddle original Joe?

Re: US Military Stirrups
I did receive a pair of these stirrups and sent them back. Nothing special or note worthy. Commercial stirrups? Todd with your research on the 1904, are you aware of huge production numbers of the 1912 stirrup? This may have been covered before. There seems to be a lot of them still around. Did prod...

Re: Texas Cavalry
I'm not sure of any military connection with these. I have a pair that came of a work harness. Just thought they were one of the commercial patterns available. The harness was from probably late 40's to 50's. Let me know if you get any other info/Tom.

Re: 1906 model pack saddle
It's Swiss. The stampings indicate it. You might goggle it being swiss and see what you get. Tom

Innovations following WW1.
Question for those experts in Germany history. It seems that immediately after WW1 Germany began working on military innovations. One of these examples was the 1925 model saddle. I always had the impressions that Hitler was responsible for this. But was it actually the Weimar Republic and the ex-mil...

Re: MASS bosses and bit
Thanks Jim for posting, I think after seeing the bosses it is the real deal. For some reason I was thinking they would show more smoothness on the bosses. I also was expecting your correction! Tom

Re: MASS bosses and bit
Castings on the Mass look a little to crisp for me? Don't know for sure. Can you post a other boss to show what age boss looks like? Go Hawks! Tom

Re: saddle identification please - UP?
The U P's that I have seen and the one in my collection does not have the grain type leather or embossed type leather on the flaps. The grain leather looks to me like water buffalo hide that is used in India.. I think this may be a India made UP. This is only guess. If it is a India made saddle It w...

Re: Shipping horse via the "Giant"
I believe this plane was actually originally a glider that they put engines on and also had jet rocket assist for take off. This plane/glider was very hard to fly and extremely slow in the air making it quite an easy target. I believe it could hold a small tank. Still very amazing. Roy did they seda...

Re: Armeesattel 25
It is also interesting to note that the saddle in the photos was not the common M25 in that it had 2 addition rings in the cantle. This was suppose ably for carrying a machine gun or an art range finder. The cantle ring saddle was seen less in WW2 but more common with WW1 saddle. Tom
