Location: rabbit run | I know this has been hashed over before, but how does Paul Ammerman stamp his saddles? Does only Carl put Ammerman Yoakum, Texas on the cinch keeper? I'm trying to figure out if one stamped Ammerman under the stirrup leather on one side but in the exact same script as Carl puts on the keeper would mean it's Paul, or could that also be Carl's? It is an older saddle and mine custom made Carl was made in 1990 and has the stamp on the keeper. |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | I've owned many of Carl's saddles and have one right now. He also stamps some Angel Kisses. I think I have a picture of his most common stamp and the one that would be on a saddle made in the 90's.

Location: rabbit run | I know what Carl's looks like, but I have never seen a Paul Ammerman saddle in person. I'm looking at a used Ammerman, but I'm not sure about it. I want to make sure it's a Carl. I just didn't know if he ever put a stamp under the fender like this on the body of the saddle. If that's the way Paul does it, then I know it's not what I want.

Location: In the Hills of Texas | I don't think he has. I have both of the above saddles and will go look and see if either has any stampings under the fender. I would give Carl a call tomorrow and he will be able to tell you for sure. |

I meant a picture of the whole saddle. We have owned a lot of Carl Ammerman's and can usually tell if it's a Carl's or Paul's. |
