If it's plastic or composite, why not try branding this horse with
pre-heated brand somehere inside? And if it's composite, then embossing on
metal (or again heat-branding of plastic parts) could be an option.  Just
thinking... Perhaps inside branding of the folder skin makes more sense than
branding frame members - skin costs more than half of the thing.
