Mystery saddle maker

[Kirsten Foruria <kirsten@vermilion.reno.nv.us>]

I've "inherited" a rather nice 16" all-purpose English
saddle, made in Germany.  It appears to be very well made
with good quality leather. But here's the kicker: I've never
heard of this saddle maker and neither have several other
friends I've contacted.  It's a Kloster Schonthal.  The name
plate actually says Sattlerei bein Kloster Schonthal.

Does anyone know anything about this maker or how it
compares to some of the other well-known makers out there? 
I'd sure appreciate any info anyone could give me.
