Hi Fred and CR list members I just bought a bicycle at the Trexlertown swap that had the same saddle that you ask about.The date of mine was 1978,from the T-town swap. It is imbossed (stamped on the cantle plate) month and last two digits for year, i.e., 8 78 (August 1978). Inspect the under side near the rear of the saddle for a date code. The saddle appears much newer than the 1966 date of your Paramount in my opinion. They are really nice saddles! I bought my first Brooks leather saddle (Brooks Pro select) in the early 1980's from Carl Mueller's Bicycle Shop in Baltimore,Md. but it was made in the late 1970's going by the date code. Please let us know what you hear from the "saddle experts", if you get any off list replies. Thanks ! Yours truly, Martin Walsh
