What make is my saddle - logo can now be seen

[Penniless]

Thanks to all who have responded. I've finally managed to get a photo of the logo on the saddle and here it is.

Now I'm waiting for you all to tell me what make I have.

Thanks a lot.

Sabre, if memory serves me correctly but I could be wrong, long time since I have worked on one!

 

[Girlracer]

Sabre isn't it?

How old is the saddle? It doesn't look like sabre to me, they have two horses' heads.

Blast! We thought we'd found the answer then. I bought the saddle about 10 years ago (not been used for the past 6 years though). Is that of any help?

Don't think Sabre make saddles anymore, only bridlework.They may have changed the badge slightly since ceasing saddle production but I am sure the badge you have shown us is Sabre, as I said it is a LONG time since I have had one in the workshop to work on.

Their new logo has two heads, but if it is an older saddle, then they may have changed their logo. It could well be a sabre after all!

I'm willing to bet on it!!

JUST hope I am right now!

I've had 2 Sabre saddles in the past and they both had plain silver studs with the double horse head logo stamped into the leather on the flaps. Had both saddles over 10 years ago too.

It's on the tip of my tongue.... I'll likely remember as soon as I walk out of the door to go to band!

You could email Sabre and ask them! info@sabreleather.co.uk

 

[Thistle]

I would email these http://www.saddlersco.co.uk/thesaddlerscompany/introduction.html I'm sure someone theer will know

 

[ofcourseyoucan]

i am sure there used to a company called black knight saddles or similar, yes i have seen that logo before on a saddle.

 

[**Vanner**]

I've seen the logo before but Im not convinced its sabre.

Thanks Thistle - will do.

Thanks everyone for your input - if and when I find out the answer - I'll let you all know. We're sure we bought it as a Sabre but can't be 100% sure and don't want to advertise it as that in case we're done under Trade Description !!!!

Bit of a mystery isn't it.

I might be barking but for some reason I'm thinking "Kent Leather" ? Probably completely wrong but that's what came to me when I looked at it.

Problem solved - just discovered in very very faint engraving the words Kent Leather. Sure I didn't buy it under this name though from the saddlers. At least now I can go ahead and advertise it. Thank you all for your detective work - much appreciated.

I'm very pleased I wasn't indeed barking mad
