	Like a lot of Jennifer saddles, this one doesn't have a chain of provenance to either a maker or an owner. It was one of the saddles picked up off the ground after the battle of Gettysburg, residing currently in the collection of the National Park Service. Given its minimal chain of provanance, I'm listing it by how it was made, as I think it's the most descriptive. At the time this style of Jennifer probably fell under the auspices of what were listed in the Clarksville depot records as "plain Jennifer saddles", as opposed to the enlisted skeleton Jennifers. Whatever you want to call the saddle, it was originally a beautiful, albeit simple, saddle. The original may or may not have been black. I made this copy in fair leather per the customer's wishes, but either finish is probably appropriate. The most interesting feature of the orignal saddle was the panel built onto the tree. This common feature of English-styled civilian saddles both cushioned the saddle and allowed for custom fitting and stuffing as a horse lost weight on campaign. While this particular panel was custom-built for this saddle, it's similar in structure to the refrofit pannels issued out in 1863 to prevent sore backs for Jennifer saddles used in the field.                 Saddle only: $1050 (Saddle Tree will be an additional charge, at market price) Given the difficulty and variablity in procuring accurate, mechanically sound Jennifer saddle trees, I have to list the tree cost separately. If you already have a good tree, I should be able to build with it and forgo the charge for the tree.
