(Revised 2/8/18). You don't have the year in that information. You've got the serial number, which is the saddle's unique identifier and that it is a PJ Pro, 17' seat, with an A flap (normal, but I believe it is slightly forward. The X is the really forward flap and the L used to be the standard and it is a lot straighter). The 3, I believe is the knee roll information.
It would be medium thickness. I'll check mine today to see if the numbers line up with what I know my saddle to be. I am unsure if this information is the same for the PJ saddles, though. Mine is a BD and they may, although not likely, changed some of their stamping protocol.
Partitions are NOT the 'new PJs'. Bruno Delgrange has always made Partitions. They were marketed by Pierre in the US. Prior to 2009 PJ Pro (sometimes had a P before the seat size) was a partition. It's a semi deep.
PJ Lite (sometimes had a A before the seat size) was an Athena.At the time was the flattest. PJ Original (sometimes had a V before the seat size) was a Virtuose. It's the deep seat. Bruno Delgrange still makes Partitions, Athenas, Virtuoses just as we did before PJ and during our relationship with PJ. Delgrange also makes cross country monoflaps and dressage saddles and have for years. We have added a new Flat saddle called the Rivolli to our line up.
Feel free to ask any other questions. I know it gets a bit confusing, I am here to help.
Bruno Delgrange is a famous French saddle maker and makes one of the best hunter jumper saddle lines available. The saddles are designed by famed Olympic trainer Pierre Jolicoeur and are sometimes called PJ saddles.
They were first introduced in the 1980's and have since become a favorite of professional and amateur hunter jumper riders alike. Why, you ask? Bruno Delgrange PJ saddles are close contact saddles but also offer the comfort of squishy, squeezable, balloon-like flaps and usually front and rear blocks. Saddles are a very personal matter, but many riders agree that the design of the Bruno Delgrange PJ saddles create excellent hip-to-heel balance, allowing the rider to feel comfortable and secure in the saddle and improving rider position. There are 3 different versions of the PJ available commercially in the United States.
Custom Bruno Delgrange PJ saddles are also available. The Bruno Delgrange PJ models include: The Original PJ, the PJ Lite, and the PJ Pro (the European equivalent of which is the Partition). The original PJ has a deeper seat than a typical close contact saddle.
The PJ Lite has a shallow, more traditional seat and the PJ Pro has a medium deep seat and is favored by European jumper riders. All Bruno Delgrange PJs are the epitome of leather quality and good craftsmanship.
To own a PJ is a delight and you will find many loyal PJ owners. Another nice feature of these saddles is that each is stamped with a serial number and the size. For example, 951030 is the 1,030th saddle made in 1995. Most PJ saddles tend to run a bit small. Most riders considering a PJ should look for a saddle about ½ a seat larger that your regular size. Bruno Delgrange PJ saddles are pricey like most French saddles.
