Herb,
I concluded this one was stamped, pebble grain because of the symmetry and uniformity of the "dimple" pattern.
I think with a real pig skin hide, there would be more ramdon variation in the "dimple" pattern. And I also remember some of our leather experts mentioning a 3-hair hole pattern at each dimple if truly from a pig...
Regards,
