Subject: MtMan-List: Saddle for Sale....
FOR SALE:
Bob Schmidt, "Apple Horn, ca. 1824" saddle.
The Apple Horn saddle was an early Spanish style saddle used throughout
California and some parts of Mexico. Many traders and trappers acquired
these saddles on their way through the California Territory. The saddle was
often fitted with round mochilla, basically the covering that the rider sat
on. They were furnished with rump cover for protecting the rider's clothes
from horse sweat or as a seat for the rider's lady friend(s). This item was
called an anquera. The stirrups (in this case) are rawhide covered, bent
wood with plate style tapaderas.
Apple Horn saddle complete with Skeleton rig w/ Pommel Bag, Gun Strap,
Crupper, Round Mochilla, Anquera and Plate Tapadaras.
Also included are:
Saddle Bags
Breast Collar (wool covered)
The saddle was purchased new about a year and a half ago for $1165.00 plus
shipping. It has been used about 8 times and is in excellent condition.
Will sell complete rig for: $900.00 (plus shipping)

The marks you have are Investarm s.p.a. Fabbrica D'Armi, they make and sell
guns under their own name and for other such as Lyman, my Lyman .50 cal
Plains Pistol is theirs and came with their instruction manual.
