Subject: [CR]Export Leather Saddle...Where Made/By whom?

On my lowly Chiorda, there is a very nice leather sadddle with rather ornate leather work on both sides where one might find similar leather work on an Ideale saddle. The saddle sits comparably to an Ideale. Has anyone ever seen an Export brand saddle? If so, where the heck might it have been made? Would Ideale have made saddles under other names like "Export" for small Italian builders like Chiorda to put on their mid to low range bikes? Looking for a little insight into saddle industry's practices during the late 60s to mid 70s.
