If you have not contacted Lewis & Grant Auctions to arrange payment within 3 days of the time that invoice is sent, we will charge the credit card you used to register for the auction for the amount of your invoice.
Rawhide covered tree, with skirts on either side. Complete with the one piece quarter straps and complete with stirrup straps and original small hooded stirrups. The spaded D ring came into use in late 1863 and solved the problem of the rounded, unspaded D ring twisting in the lower quarter straps. Trooper has cut the front out of the hoods for his toes. Most soldiers completely removed the hoods because they could not insert the foot forward in the stirrups for comfortable riding. The M1859 Rawhide covered McClellan's were used from 1859 through the 1870's. A number of M1859 trees and relic parts have been found on the Custer battlefield. These saddles were classic piece in the period of the Indian War Cavalry from 1865 through the 1870's when they began to replace them with the later era McClellan Saddles. Has a m1859 blue wool cincha with the saddle. Also includes a pair of Civil War stirrups with the hoods on them unlike the pair that was field modified that are included on the saddle. (SADDLE STAND NOT INCLUDED) $1,000-$1,200
