Antique original
United States cavalry saddle bag
Single !
Not a pair !
Only good / fair condition ,
the stitching has separated about 9” along the bottom left corner
and 7” along the right side
the leather is a bit dusty
it hasn’t been touched or messed with in over 100 years
still pliable -
but it will need some saddle soap or leather treatment
all three closing straps are intact
( the one on the far right has a slight split - see the photos )
The U.S. marking under the middle strap is faint but visible
Not oil soaked or mouse chewed
this would still be useable , if you restitch the separated thread in the indicted areas
It measures about 14” x 12
Great for display !
