Need Dee Ring Supplier Help

[GrampaJoel]

I have an English style saddle in for dee ring repair( at the breast collar attachment spot), and a few other small repairs.

I have looked high and low for a Dee Ring to match the one left on the saddle. On the net, and at the hardware stores.

There is no brand name on the saddle so I dont have a maker to contact.

It looks as if it has seen a pretty easy life from the top side. But I have found multiple repais done in slip shod fashion on the underside.

I prefer my repairs to stand above all the others.

So I want to have the Dee rings match as closely as possible.

The owner doesn't want the dee ring attached by a leather wrap.

So I need a dee ring that is 7/8" on the inside, and 1 1/4" on the outside with a 3" metal clip.

So does anyone have an inside source to a dee ring supplier that might have a dee ring such as this?

Thanks

Joel

Did you look at Weaver to see the one you need..

[GrampaJoel]

Luke Hatley,

Thanks for the suggestion.

The problem with Weaver is that I only need two dee rings, and I don't have a license. number so I can't order from Weaver.

I have found places online that has what I need, but I don't need 1000 of them.

Hummm.

This is getting pretty frustrating.

Except for your measurements, it sounds like you are talking about fall down staples. Wind mill Saddlery in Ohio has them. Sorry I am at home, so I don't have more info. They come in 5/8 and 3/4 with a cotter pin that goes through the tree.
