Can anyone out there help me. Do all Stubben bridles have a stamp into the headpiece and again in the reins or are there Stubben bridles out there with the only identifying marks being the plaques on the browband? Any information welcome as I am trying to authenticate a bridle!
 
I've got a noseband, no idea where rest of bridle is, thats stamped. And rubber reins but those have stubben moulded into the rubber.

Thanks for answers, interested to hear if anyone has a Stubben bridle with no stamps on as the lady who sold me this bridle swears it is Stubben even though there are no marks to say so, could she be telling the truth?

How old is it? My Stubben must be over 8 years old - I'd say send pic to Stubben and see if they could tell you whether it's authentic.
 
It is meant to be 10 years old, I have tried Stubben Direct and Stubben facebook but they have failed to reply, probably be different if I was trying to buy a bridle from them! Anyway that's why I thought I would try the forum for help or any insight that's out there.
 
hmm okay im pretty sure there's a stubben specialist out there i will try and find or if you just search up - I remember i had to find him for something.
 
I had two, one head piece stamped on one side with the horse heads and one with the little silver horsehead plaques on both sides all browbands and nosebands stamped saying stuben, no idea re reins cant remember what i did with them, i gave both bridles away much prefer the quality of jeffries

Stamped head piece bridle must be well over 10yrs old

I've got two stubben bridles, both have silver horse head plaques on the browband, have stubben rubber reins but don't remember them being stamped.
 
I am guessing you are worried about the quality/price if you are buying 2nd hand. Have you actually seen the bridle? I bought a Stubben bridle a couple of years ago and frankly wasn't that impressed with the quality. If you are buying I would go with what it actually looks/feels like now rather than the name.
 
Ok, am home now and checked for you - noseband is stamped 4 times and the reins are stamped on the leather 5 times and have stubben printed on the rubber four times (once on each side of each half of the reins).
Both are pretty old but I couldn't give an exact age.

But I think it's pretty fair to say that Stubben are pretty hot on marking things, going off what I just saw on those two items.
