The M1924 Phillips Pack saddle was introduced in both a Cavalry and an Artillery version. The Phillips Cavalry Pack Saddle was designed for horses, while the Phillips Artillery Pack Saddle was meant for mules.
 
I have restored a Phillips Cavalry Pack Saddle, scheduled to be used in demos of a MG Troop half section in November 2006.
 
I have obtained a Phillips Artillery Pack Saddle for restoration as well.
 
I already have two sets of Phillips harness, but correct Phillips cinchas have eluded me.
