Since I started recovering old Brooks etc saddles, the thing that has dogged me the most has been how to get the thing symmetrical. I don't know why, but they almost always come out a little off center, one way or the other.

And the odd thing about this is that all the saddles I ride are asymmetrical as well. But always the same way. The center ridge always ends up left of center. So evidently I always ride a little right of center (please don't tell my family, they're all leftists).

From this, for what it's worth, I conclude that there is no particular need for a saddle to be perfectly symmetrical. Like people, saddles are symmetrical in theory but rarely symmetrical in practice. So while I think you are justified in being disappointed that your saddle came asymmetrical, you should realize it was going to end up that way regardless how it started out. Whether this particular asymmetry makes it better than symmetrical, or worse, or equally good, I can't speculate. I'd say the odds are about even.

As for the scuffs, again I sympathize with your disappointment that it came scuffed. But again, it was going to get scuffed anyway, and the honey color will inevitably change to brown, and your new saddle is sooner or later destined to be a used one. If you paid a new saddle price, you have every right to complain; if you paid a used saddle price, not so much. Either way, the question I'd ask is whether complaining is going to do you any good. If you have to pay return shipping across the ocean, I'd say you're better off just accepting this saddle as it is. It might be great; it might be not so great; but it's probably just as good as one that looks better.
