Intricately-tooled leather western saddle from the Chrles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge. Made in Montana, this saddle is marked as a style #450, it is 7/8 rigged, and has a 14.5" seat saddle with no cinch. This saddle was used on the refuge for many years and was probably instrumental in the daily activities of riding the range and wrangling the bison.
