I've gone back and searched the archives. It seems the discussion was about 92 Diagonales, which is exactly what I'm looking at on eBay. It wasn't concluded where these were made, but it was said they could be bought from Germany rather cheaply. Anyone know where I can get one and what the price will be?

I believe these were discussed here a while back, but I don't recall that there was a conclusion as to who made these or in what country. "French Design" would seem to imply that actual manufacturing was not in France. Does anyone know? Also does anyone actually own one or more of these saddles? If so, how does the quality compare to French made Ideales?
