{"product_id":"250730","title":"250730","description":"100% historically correct M1874 US Cavalry Saddle Bags. These bags are from the period during the 19th century that was also called the ´Indian Wars´.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe M1874 is one of the rarest 19th century US Cavalry saddle bags, which was patterned after an earlier experimental model in canvas, but is made of leather.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nI had a very good leathersmith, who specialised in US cavalry (and other leather items from this era) items recreate this custom item for me.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEverything in it is historically correct, down to stamps and the cotton inside the bags (special order from USA).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe entire thing was hand sewn and the leathersmith said this was one of the most time-consuming bags he had ever made.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is in excellent condition (as new), and has been stored inside.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOriginally intended for single action US Cavalry outfit. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThese bags are much larger than the more common M 1859 saddle bags, existing before, during and after the US civil war.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe cost of this one of a kind reproduction was in excess of $700. Unfortunately, I have to make room at home for a second child and this item has to go. It will make an excellent (and different) carry bag.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSelling for $250 firm.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPickup in Brisbane or shipped at buyer´s expense.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEmail\/sms preferred during business hours.
