Saddle in great condition - fast 3-day shipment to US

I was looking for a specific Kent & Masters dressage saddle and was referred to the Saddle Bank by a friend. I was able to find the saddle I needed, as I had borrowed the exact same saddle from a friend to make sure that it was a good fit for my horse.
The transaction was easy. I was very surprised but excited that I received the saddle in 3 days - shipped to the US.
The only couple things I noticed after receiving the saddle - knowing it is a used saddle, it was in great condition. The billets must've been replaced because they are shorter and the leather seems to be a cheaper quality as it is a little brittle and cracked after only using it a couple of times. Also, the little tabs that the stirrup leather ends are tucked trough have been replaced because it doesn't have the Kent & Masters original imprint on the tabs. Overall a saddle in great condition - it would've been good to have the details regarding billet length in the description.
