I have a saddle bought in the 1990s that is an great condition, Everything is original I wondered if I posted pictures of it if someone could give me an idea of value
Maybe my history is muffled but I don’t think Billy Cook has anything to do with Big Horn?
Pictures would be good.
Billy Cook sold his name and saddle designs to Simco Longhorn in the early 80’s .He did not sell them the rights to the word “Maker”. After he was released from jail he started making saddles again under his name . They are the Original Billy Cook Maker saddles made in Sulphur OK. Longhorn still makes their own brand of Billy Cook saddles. They are Billy Cook Saddlery by Longhorn and made in Greenville TX.
Here are pics

Maybe you can look thru these pages and find something similar and go by those prices?

Simco Longhorn and BIG HORN are two different saddle brands. You original post said Big Horn. Saddle pictured is LongHorn.
In my area, I’m thinking a well-maintained saddle like that may sell anywhere from $400 and up.

Broken Horn is a saddlery in Baldwin Park Ca. Just outside LA. Well respected, make a lot of saddles, by hand at their store, mostly Southwest kind of style, fancier then this. The saddle pictured does not look like anything I’ve seen by them, looks more like a basic off the rack work saddle.
Lol. You’re absolutely right! I was at work and sneaking on the phone I see that now
