what kind of saddle is this?
I am looking to buy this saddle. The seller does not know the maker. I think it might be an American Saddlery saddle. Does anyone know anything about this? Hopefully these links work.

I know it's a western saddle. I'm trying to figure out the maker because I want to know what I'm buying. Also, if anyone could give me clues as to who made it could look up the measurements of the saddle since the seller doesn't know what size bars it has or anything.
So, are big horn saddles good? That kind of sucks though, I need full quarter horse bars. Atleast I didn't spend the money yet. They said the seat size is 14 1/2.
It's a Big Horn saddle! See the shape of the cantle, the tell tale way they rigged their flank cinch billets. Sadly, Big Horn went out of business last year. Now if you can get the seller to take a tape measurer and start at the base of the saddle horn and stop at the beginning of the cantle, that will give you the seat size and knowing Big Horn, that's a semi quarter horse tree. The saddle was made in the late 1960''s.
Big Horn was comparable to Simco and Hereford (Tex Tan). You can ask them to measure the gullet and if it's under 7.5", it's a semi QH. (I'll betcha it will be).
