Very good - excellent condition. Meticulously cared for. Minimal signs of wear. The leather just has the typical scuffs here and there from use and some subtle fading.
*There are some light surface scratches on lower right flap (see pic). Likely to go unnoticed while rider is in the tack, and does not effect functionality. 

The tree, stitching and billets are sound. The panels and wool flocking are smooth and plush - it's a gorgeous and comfortable saddle!
