[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 341547, member: 84"]I found this at a thrift store today. I grew up with horses in NC, but I rode western not English. I know most names are under the leg flap by the cinch buckle, but all this one has is the Roman numeral II. The back also appears higher than usual + it seems to have extra large padding built in underneath the saddle which I've never seen before. I can't find any saddle makers with II as their mark - can anyone tell who made this and/or what kind of saddle it is? Any idea of age (it's still dusty as heck - it was stored for a while before being donated to VA thrift store) Is the leather work suggestive of a custom made saddle? Thanks; I appreciate any help.
