The Wright's saddle I tried to revive is starting to fail at a rivet, so I'm going to need to replace it quite soon.

I've looked around the Internet and see a lot of diversity w/respect to the saddles I see on late '50s to early '60s Italian bicycles.

Does anyone know what was the most commonly specified saddle for these bikes? In lieue of any specifc recommendations, I'll probably go with a Brooks B17 narrow or possibly a French Ideale.
