  • Dating a McClellan saddle

    I am hoping someone can help me date this McClellan saddle. I have looked at a few pictures of other originals, but as you can tell mine is missing some hardware. Does anyone have any idea?

    NOT from the civil war or even WW1 or so my thoughts are it's the 1928.

      Tyler,
      While I can't provide you with any kind of exact date, I CAN tell you that it is not a CW period McClellan. My expertise really ends at the end of the CW, but that looks like a 1904 model to me.

      Take care,

        Since it looks like it has a saddle skirt I would say it is a 28 or post 28.....

          Thanks for the help guys. Huck that’s a great website, very informative! I think you are right about it being around the 1928 time frame. I thought I might have a period piece but at least I’m a little wiser now.
