Description

Semi-deep seat (L)
Serial number - 2 L 16.23 S 1301 12 Made in France
Overall this saddle has seen some use but is still structurally sound. Front blocks have been removed as the prior owner did Equitation. Billets are fine (both billet guards are included). Tree is solid.
Knee pads are in good shape. Some superficial crackling /spider veining, seam wear and a darker oil spot on the seat - all purely cosmetic and hidden once mounted. There are also some random nicks and dings here and there. Still show grade.
Hard to find size for a petite long legged rider who would love a Butet but can't afford the astronomical prices even 20 year old ones command. Price reflects wear.
Saddle comes with its original yellow fleece-lined Butet
saddle
cover. Saddle doesn't sell with any fittings.
