I may be being overly critical but, if the stirrup leathers are an indication of the rest of the work, this remake leaves much to be desired. From the first photo I assumed that they were buffalo hide polo leathers but the 3rd shot, taken from the pommel looking rearward, reveals them to be made from latigo leather- totally unsuitable for that purpose. To be fair, I don't believe that this saddle is a scam. It appears to me that someone has tried hard to do a nice job but is out of his area of expertise in this endeavor. It's tough to tell for sure from a photo though, I hope I'm in error.

I am not surprised by the lack of bids.
