No names, stamps or other identifying marks?
It's from an English style saddle, which may not be too
common in Texas. As for a date, I'm clueless.

Aynway, when you go back, make sure you tell them that this came off of a 1850s US Army McClellan saddle, and that you need them replacement value for the rest of the saddle. LOL
Good find.

I have English saddles with Stirrups like this. Notice how the bottom ring is smaller then the top. It is to hold a rubber pad insert so not to slip through. If i remember when i go to the barn i will take a couple of pictures

No offense intended... I mean this only as friendly helpful advice. Oddjob, I've seen you come up with some amazing correct identifications -- but in this case, you definitely are mistaken. I'm 100% certain that gold boy's steel stirrup is from a US Army Model-1904 McClellan saddle. See the photos below, one of which is from famous American Militaria dealer Hayes Otoupalik's website, where you can still buy these Original (not reproduction) US Model-1904 saddle stirrups. The other photo, showing these stirrups still attached to the M-1904 saddle, says it is maker-marked 1918.

Mate I would not be offended, wrong is wrong, and history should never be forgotten or mistaken. Happy someone could point him in the right direction.
I have written so much doctrine in the recovery and prevention of stolen works of art and culture property it would make you sick; only to see someone at the warehouse ID it wrong like I did here and it is shelved until someone comes along and spots the wrong. Worse case I have ever seen was a wrong ID that was corrected on an item that was shelved for six years, IDed correct and the data base showed who the owner was, only to find out they passed away just a little over a year prior to the correction, so they never got to see their item again.
Not that this is the case here, but you get my drift, gotta correct it when you see it.
Just out of curiosity though, that would put me far off, like wrong model then on the brass plates as well wouldn’t.
Sorry Gold Boy; you should have learned by now in the random chat thread to just hit ignore mate. LOL
