Most of the Parade Saddles that I sell were created by famous makers Ted Flowers and Bruce Lovins. They made saddles, 50 years ago, using German Silver, Monel, Nickel and Aluminum metals. This was less expensive and more durable than Sterling, but looks the same. I refurbish each rig as completely as possible while maintaining the original parts. These saddles weigh approximately 75 pounds including serapes, breast collar, etc. I buy/sell/refurbish more of these Flowers & Lovins saddles than anyone in the country so please call me if you have any questions. Recently SOLD - Bruce Lovins Saddle This very rare saddle was made by Bruce Lovins and includes saddle, bridle, tapaderos, breast collar. The conchos are called the Starfire pattern, are made of German Silver and are really quite spectacular. A very unusual breast collar! This is absolutely gorgeous and quite rare to find anything like this. For video details please click on the link below http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQObbJhMPk4
