What make of saddle have I got?

[Penniless]

I know you will all be able to help me. I'm about to advertise my saddle (which hasn't been used for six years) and for the life of me can't remember the make. It has a small button either side of the pommel which shows a logo which I can only describe as looking like the knight from a chess set. Any idea of make? Thanks.

Another thought - been a long time since I was in the saddle - how do I measure it to say whether its narrow, medium or wide fit and also how do I measure the actual size? Think its either medium or wide, and it might be 17" or 18", but any suggestions as to how to measure would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Charles Mountfort with a blue and silver striped shield with a chess piece style horse's head in the centre (facing left, just in case there are variations!!). The stud underneath the flap has the name on it.

What colour is the button?

Is it not stamped anywhere?

could it be a Kings?

Thanks all. I will go check what colour button the motif is and get back to you. Now know how to measure the size of it - but how about the width?

Kings?

I have a kings saddle and its a K in a scroll font not a knight.

Sounds like a sabre?

Can you post a picture of it? Might help in getting it identified.

It's a black button with a gold chess piece horse head. Will try and get a photo of it, but for some reason, can't download any photos I'm trying to take for ebay either tonight. Sabre rings a bell, definitely not Kings though. Thanks all.

I'm also thinking Sabre, I've got a few sabre bridles and they all have the horse chess piece logo.
