> I recently acquired a "Dactyl" French racing saddle, nearly identical in profile
> to a small-rivet Brooks Professional or Ideale 52 or 80 (deep side skirt, steel
> rails, bag loops) and exhaustive internet searching has turned up no information
> on the brand. It seems to be of decent quality - "Croupon" stamped leather
> that's 2-ply under the top. Does anybody know anything about this brand?
