Odd Question - Make of saddle

[Riverboy]

Hi all you knowledgable people. I've decided the time has come to sell River's things that I had put aside to sell rather than give away to help towards Luca being re-broken (he goes a week today :-s )

Thing is I'm not sure what make his saddle was - I bought it second hand from a saddler for £775 - please see pics below - any ideas? Its got an 'F' in italics on the side.

Also ideas of where to sell it and how much to hope for?

Thanks and hot choccies to all...

Fieldhouse??

The only F I can think of are Falcon and Flyde - I don't think it's a falcon...

I thought Fieldhouse but can only find images of their GFS range - however the text of the 'GFS' is the same font as this...

Silly me for not asking the saddler when I bought it but it was the only one that fitted.

Hmmm having googled images, the closest I've found is an old style falcon hawk GP saddle but the leather keepers are wrong...

Thanks, it is quite a new saddle and does look like that falcon - its quite straight cut - not quite a dressage saddle but nearly...

Hmm perhaps I should just advertise it make unknown...

I would say it is a worker saddle.......

If me, because it is prob worth more with make I would email the companies above beginning with F and ask them if they have ever used that stamp

does it have any sort of plate next to the stirrup bars?

Farrington's? They make saddles for Crewe, DH and some other big shops
