We have historical information on saddles going back to 2006 available in this searchable archive. For additional information, or if your saddle doesn't come up in the search (older than 2006 or missing from the database) you can purchase an Authentication Certificate to have your saddle researched.
Please note that our phone, chat, and email representatives do not have any further information, beyond what is available on this page. For more information, you will need to purchase an Authentication Certificate. Authentication Certificates include information on the original value of the saddle, current estimated value, tree type, and original catalog information and photo, as well as the seat and tree size.
