Sz 17 Older Beval Butet Saddle, 2 Flap (long). No Reserve. Made in France. The 2 is a long flap, but it's not super long. It should work for anyone between 5'6 and 5'9. I can send more flap measurements w/ pictures if requested.  The leather on this saddle is beautiful, but there are cracks on the seat and some cracking on the panels. It's purely cosmetic, as is the discoloration on the cantle. The tree is in great condition & the saddle is still really comfortable. The leather on the flaps and knee rolls is beautiful, soft, and such a rich Havana color. The billet straps are in great condition as well. The panels are still nice and soft too. They have not hardened at all.  This saddle had blocks at one time, but they were removed. You could easily have blocks put back in again.  This is a true Sz 17 seat. It doesn't run as big as the newer Sz 17 Butet's. It's also a normal tree for this older style Butet, but it would be considered narrow now. There are certain pads that can lift this saddle up and make it fit more horses, but if your horse has a wide shoulder, I would not recommend this saddle.  Additional details about the seat: Though the cracking and discoloration is obvious, the seat isn't split near the pommel, which is what usually causes the foam to show & results in the need for a new seat. You could certainly have the seat replaced, but it isn't necessary.
