Saddle Info - German (DMS) made

linds5158 · 01-30-2006, 03:35 PM

I'm hoping someone might be able to provide some information about a brand of saddle. I have a used saddle that came from Germany. The tag says Der Monderne Sportbedarf. Tag also says "Only by DMS - West Germany"

So the brand is DMS (Modell) and I have been trying to look up info on them on the web.....translating sites from German to English. I can't find much about the saddle or anything about the company really. I'm just trying to collect some information about the type of saddle and maybe what they run for new or used? [I'm planning on selling it as it's far to big for me!]

I did find this website for the company but it didn't provide much information and they don't sell them from the website. I did come across one for sale (used dressage for what converts to 1300 us dollars, but thats the only one I could find online)

So my question is for any of you, ever heard of DMS? Know someone familar with german saddles? I'm trying to get an idea of their value (new and used) and how they hold up, this one has been pretty heavily used before I got it but is still in good usable condition.

Thanks for your time! Any info/suggestions (as far as maybe a price as a used saddle?) are appreciated!

I also meant to post that I was reading and came across a description of DMS which said they are the subsidiary of Kieffer.

Thanks, its not a bad saddle...however the little pieces of leather that hold the extra stirrup leather back are broken off, which doesn't really effect it much but would def. decrease the value! I had never actually heard of DMS before this saddle.
