<p>[QUOTE="KSW, post: 2860214, member: 8708"]It is a popular make of jumping saddle. Would sell in the UK in that condition for around £3-400. It’s had a fair bit of use but they are lovely saddles and well made. I wouldn’t worry about small differences to others you see online as models change all the time. Have a look to see if it’s stamped with the tree width- likely to be under the big flap on the piece of leather covering the girth straps or On the flap of leather under the straps. It may say something like 17.5M which would be a 17.5 inch seat size and a Medium tree width. The tree is the frame the saddle is built on to fit the width of the horse. The brass plate is nothing to worry about, the buyer will change it.</p><p>As long as the tree isn’t broken it should sell well. Those look like Sprenger system 4 type stirrup irons which are expensive too.</p><p>Seat looks quite small so maybe for a small adult or child. Photos are deceiving. Measure it in inches from one of the front studs that say Pessoa Paris to the centre of the cantle which is the raised bit at the back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
