Could this possibly be a Walker Contract saddle, or one of the of the other Hussar-type saddles used at the beginning of the 19th century? Does it have US military provenance?

I don't think its a M1805 either.

You could check something though. From Dutch sources its clear that the M1805 has two-piece arches with dovetail connection. If your saddle has arches made from a single piece of wood, it's definitely not M1805.
