Century.

colored leather equipment. The manual consists of 39
pages of text describing the various pieces of equipment
to include: the Model 1904 saddle, saddle bags, and
saddle cloths, all of the related horse equipment, saber
belt, holster, pocketed cartridge belt, cartridge boxes,
mess gear, bit, and bridle. In addition, there are
twenty additional pages of very detailed illustrated
plates that show each item of the soldier’s issue.

excellent source of information regarding the issue and
wear of this equipment for collector and reenactor
alike, and an important addition to the library of any
serious student of the US Cavalry. This copy is brand
new and unused. $20
