Things You'll Need
- Saddle
- Magnifying glass
Instructions
Place the saddle on a sturdy stand. It will be easier to examine the saddle and look for the stamp if it is sitting on a sturdy surface.
Locate the small leather adornment right under the saddle horn on the left side of the saddle. Look for the MacPherson logo stamped into the leather. If the saddle is old or dirty this stamp can be hard to read--use the magnifying glass and flashlight to read the stamp if necessary.
Examine the stirrup leather and look for a stamp on the bottom of the stirrup leather, right above where the stirrup attaches. Examine the stamp carefully to make sure it is a MacPherson stamp.
