If the saddle is stamped Billy Cook MAKER Greenville TX its an original. If MAKER is not found on the saddle it is a saddle made by Simco/Longhorn when they brought his name and saddle designs [in 1981 I believe].

If you look under the fenders you should see as number like this:
1810 70 18th day, 10th month, 1970 year

At least that is my understanding....
