Antique WW1 McClellan Cavalry Saddle with Hooded Stirrups and Accessories

Apparently, this was one of the items from the store. After doing a bit of research, it SEEMS to be an M1904 brown leather McClellan saddle with mostly brass fixtures. One of the brass fixtures on the front is missing (see picture). But I believe that is the only missing hardware. It comes complete with two large " US " embossed leather hooded wooden stirrups.

It has an 11 seat as noted by the fully intact metal emblem. Each stirrup has a stamp in the wood. One says something with 1918 under it. And the other looks like it says something with H.

The wood is worn which makes it tough to make out the letters and numbers. One of the hoods has J. Some of the leather (especially the underside of the hoods on the stirrups) is cracking due to age and it seems that one of the smaller straps had been replaced.

Of special note is the metal dog tag fastened to the back. It has 4th 40 stamped in it. I'm not sure what that means... But it might be of interest to someone who knows more about saddles. With this order, I will also include the Army saddle pad and the thick fluffy pink saddle pad shown in the picture, along with 3 extra cinches like the ones shown in the last picture.
