I'm trying to find a brand or mark to ID who made or manufactured my saddle

You might find a starting place at this site that says:


Here's an index of some of major production saddle manufacturers currently producing virtually every type of saddle imaginable.

If you don't see anything that looks similar to yours, you might try contacting them via:

for their advice on who the maker might be or where else to look.

to the best of my knowledge the stamp "419" on saddles was used strickly for pack saddles but I don't know very much. My last saddle was a McClelland.
