Hi Jay, Could you send me a couple more digital photos.......or post a link with few more photos of your IDEALE "km" saddle,to the Classic Rendezvous List serve It would help if you show more details of the saddle,in your photos to get some feedback from CR list members.Photos of the rivets,cantle plate underneath,rails weather steel or alloy would help. Where is the saddle made? It's not clear in the one photo link that you posted. The "D" in IDEALE looks different to my eye........I'll have to look at an Ideale saddle on Tuesday in the light. I've never heard of a model called "KM". Chuck Schmidt sells and IDEALE catalog on his website: http://www.velo-retro.com/ I'm hoping some of the other "Ideale" experts chime in ........Jerry Moos,Peter W,Tim...... Any other details that you could provide us with might help. Did it come on a bicycle from a certain vintage etc. Marty Walsh Vienna, Virginia, USA
