Vintage western saddle makers marks

Many people find used saddles for sale at flea markets, tack stores, garage sales or in classified ads, and need to identify the type of saddle they have. The first step is to get a general sense of the overall type of saddle, followed by identifying the saddle maker. Many popular saddle makers have websites or catalogs, and you can look up more information about the saddle online or in books to find out how many were made, when it was produced, and in what styles and colors. First, determine whether you have an English or a Western style saddle. English saddles are flatter and have less padding than the Western, or cowboy-type saddle. Western saddles have a saddle horn, a protrusion on the pommel or front of the saddle that is used in ranch work. English saddles always have a single girth with either two or three straps to attach the girth, while Western saddles may have one or two girths. The maker's mark on an English saddle usually is stamped into the leather under the leg flap. Place the saddle on a stand or a fence post so you can look at it carefully. You may want to have a magnifying glass handy if the saddle is very worn so you can see the marks better. Lift the flaps up, first on the left side and then on the right.

I just purchased this saddle and was told it is possibly a Dorie Reese but it has no maker's mark or stamp. I wiIl get the saddle on the 22nd and can post more pics then. I thought I was aware of most vintage saddle makers but this one has me stumped. The only thing I can find is a vintage Dorie Reese reiner for sale with similarities such as jockey shape and seat shape, material and color. Does anyone on here know anything about Dorie Reese saddles? I have never heard of this maker and the seller had no luck finding anything either. She is just going by what she was told.
