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.

thank you that is very cool
