C1909 U.S. Cavalry Daly packer mule saddle

  

This is a once in a lifetime find for us. Made under contract for the U.S. Cavalary, this saddle was used on mule trains by the "driver" to ride the mule closest to the wagon's left front.

This saddle was featured in the  handbook Daly wrote for the U.S. Cavalry. It is shown in copies of the handbook as a 1909 Daly packer (Daly recommended these saddles). This version, without skirts, was known as a "skeleton" model. 

This has a cinch safe on the left side that is marked with "Rock Island Arsenal". We doubt it is the original but are leaving it on the saddle. 

Saddle is in rideable condition as found. However, these are incredibly rare and it would be wise to properly repair and store it.
