I am selling a 17.5†Kent and Masters GP saddle with an adjustable gullet however whilst photographing it I noticed the stamp says DGP on it and I am unsure what the D stands for, can anyone help? Thank you

Is it like this? https://www.kentandmasters.co.uk/general-purpose/29-s-series-universal-gpd-standard-wither
The D is at the other end but probably means the same.
Eta.... I think the D is for dressage.. So more a VSD.

Thank you, I had wondered that myself however it doesn’t seem to be cut any more dressage like than the other GP saddles, here’s a photo of said saddle:

How old is the saddle?
It really doesn't look very dressagey...I'm puzzled too now.

It looks like an Original gp. No idea about the D.... You could always phone k&m?

I bought the saddle about a year and a half ago and it was fairly new when I bought it - less than a year old. I tried phoning them a couple of hours ago but I think the lines are closed until tomorrow so I’ll try again tomorrow and keep you updated 😊

The D could refer to flaps or panels being deep. Guess we'll find out.

Phoned Kent and Masters, apparently the DGP stands for Dutch GP which is the earlier stamp for flatback GP saddles. Basically it’s just an earlier version of the cob style flatback GP saddle
I didn’t actually know it was cob style saddle when I bought it - I’ve been using it on a TB!cobgoblin

Thenks for letting me know. I've never heard of a Dutch gp.
