The saddle has been well kept in a dry environment I didn't put those black marks on the sheepskin! The indentations in the padded seat were there when I bought it, but my boney butt and seat bones didn't help them go away, either. Not much natural padding on this rider.
The seat is still soft and comfy. Based on the serial number and information from the company, this saddle was built in 2012, on a Steele TF-fit Tree with D bars, with a 16 seat. The pommel is a specialty pommel, A-fork style, and looks really cool! The saddle currently has nylon latigos on both sides because I prefer to ride with less bulk and centerfire rigging. The leather off-billet and rear cinch/straps were taken off and stored. I also removed the bucking rolls because I'm not a fan of them. I CAN ALSO REINSTALL THE BUCKING ROLLS IF DESIRED. IN EITHER CASE, EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED WITH THE SADDLE. IF you don't want the nyLon latigos, I will hang on to them. Sometimes I win, most of the time I lose and pay more out of pocket.The item "Allegany Mountain Trail Saddle 16 with Extras" is in sale since Wednesday, July 12, 2017.
