Authentic Antique Indian War Pattern 1885US
Calvary Union
Russet Leather (1902?)
Saddle Bags
US Stamped
This is a wonderful set of authentic antique leather saddle bags used possibly during the Indian War Era. Leather is in overall good condition and shows age related wear. All buckles are intact on saddle bags but one strap is missing. One of the brass leather holders is loose on one end but both are there. Please look at all photographs to see condition, what you see is what you'll get. A nice addition to the
collection ! Thank you.
Indian Wars Saddlery. M1896 Saddle Bags: (not quite Indian Wars but....) Rare and hard to find M1896 Saddle Bags. These were patterned after the M1885 bags but incorporated some slight changes to the gussets which allowed easier access by the user. They had a very short window of manufacture before the color was changed
from black to russet in 1902. Just prior WWI the new color bags were designated the M1904 saddle bags.
