It looks to be an unarmored one: versus:   These ambulances were of limited use “outside the wire” in both Afghanistan and Iraq, partially due to the IED threat; obviously, the unarmored one more so. 

Hi, Does the 1936 version have the extended cantle? And this saddle doesn't have those holes in the pommel either. Maybe this is the M-1917 version? Have found images in Google that look similar. And it doesn't have any US stamping on anything. You all are the experts, would just like to learn the history of these saddles and maybe find someone to appreciate them. :)

They are not US Navy. US Maritime Service or Merchant Marine.   http://www.usmm.org/usmsinsignia.html  

I believe they are pre world war II but this I am unsure of. They are bullion

It’s a new one on me. So I’ll give credit for it to the British. I’ll give a try of transplanting it to the States.  mikie

Very nice Ike jacket

Is it black or dark blue?

Are those U.S.?   Never seen hat badges like that, maybe pre-1900?   

Isnt that the standard M-1936 U.S. Army saddle? Sure looks like it  

Both original
