Western Horse, Black Pinto w/Snap Saddle and Reins

Breyer's Western Horse was available in black pinto only from 1954-1973.  Being so long retired, finding one in good condition for your collection can be a challenge.  He wears rounded white pinto markings in the same pattern that he shares with the chestnut pinto release, four socks, white mane, black tail with a white tip, and airbrushed bald face.  They saw some changes during their run, mainly to their saddles, which went from high-rivet snap saddles to low-rivet snap saddles, to slip-on saddles, during their time.  When a saddle is present, it can help date the model.

This guy is in Excellent condition with ear edge and hoof edge rubs, a hairline scratch on his right stifle, and a a scattering of pinpoint rubs overall.  He also shows moderate yellowing which you can correct with some time spent sunbathing and could use a bath.  The rivet on one side of his saddle and the bit ring on the same side have tarnished.  He's a great restoration prospect, as he should clean up very nicely!
