Affixed with a paper Winchester Store tag inscribed: No. 10 Price 50.00 / Old Cheyenne Quill Saddle Blanket Bought this today 3/2/27; together with a packing list dated to 1882 restating the above

Good historic condition with general wear, soiling, dust accumulation and rfraying to the fabric-lined edges commensurate with age. A few areas of wear and/or loss to the quill work; overall in good condition. Losses to feather accents and many of the bells. Some fading to areas of the quill work. Some more soiling to the sides of the blanket where the rider's legs would sit. Some losses and wear to fringe.
