I'm purchasing a Brooks swallow saddle that the owner dates to the '80's. This saddle is black, with dime-size copper rivets, except for rivets on either side of the waist area which are smaller (size of a sixteen penny nail head) that secures a metal stretcher . no stitching around the apron. Can someone confirm that there is such a swallow saddle or that it's a modified lookalike.
Thanks
