Help - ID Saddle - Brooks?
Hi there,
Can you ID this saddle? It is on a late 70's Peugoet. It appears books-like but I'm not sure. The leather is in pretty rough shape. I can see an oval shaped logo on the cheek of the saddle but I can't read it. Also, there looks to have been a tag / plate on the back but it's gone.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

Common leather saddles on Peugeots of that era were made by ADGA. Not top quality, by any means, but they manage to survive.

Could it be an Ideale? One came on a bike I acquired last year, and it looked just like that, especially the big metal lump at the nose. It was in the same kind of shape, too, which is why it's been replaced with a Brooks.
