Mexico, making this one of the more important cavalry
equipment manuals.

various pieces of equipment to include: the Model 1912
Service Saddle and Officer Saddle, all of the related
horse equipment, holster, pocketed cartridge belts and
bandoliers, sabres, mess gear, bit, and bridle. In

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. $25
