<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 9499778, member: 76316&quot;]It&#039;s really a damn shame I have only this one...the pair would command some serious attention on eBay. ~8&quot; tall, 6 1/2&quot; wide, 2&quot; deep at the top; it weighs 17 1/4 oz. It has to be one of the finest pieces of western saddle-makers craft ever to come under my nose. I have an old friend in Texas who collects an&#039; displays antique an&#039; vintage western gear, an&#039; he&#039;ll get this soon for his man-cave.</p><p>What may appear to be a repair at the boot-arch isn&#039;t; it is a wear-patch that covers a portion of the laced leather covering, but beneath it there is no lacing, as there is elsewhere. Note the way the top (open) ends are well-tucked into the wrapping; also how the riveted wear-strap over the bar is made so that strap cannot rotate fully. Whoever crafted these was well-versed in the needs of the rider they were made for.</p><p>This post is mainly a show-n-tell...but your observations an&#039; comments are welcome. Thanks for lookin&#039;!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]448690[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]448691[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]448692[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]448693[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]448694[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]448695[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]448696[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]448697[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]448698[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]448699[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
