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.
