History of Mexican Saddles from early 1900s

Can't Post |

Looking for information on Mexican saddles from the early 1900s. Sites or personal knowledge would be appreciated. Trying to validate origin of saddle. No smithing marks yet fould on the silver pieces, just pictorial engravings and "old stories".

I tried Goggle earlier, but if you look at those saddles and then look at the picture of Pancho Villas in the history section of Mexico connect, nothing alike. The biggest difference at first glance is the horn - one is upright and the ones in search are flat like a western saddle. But thanks - I'll just keep looking.
