I have to say I like the older ones too. I recently bought a very nice old Pro from the early 70s that looked barely used, for about 60 percent the price of a new one. And its a better saddle, in my opinion.

Look around OP. good examples of nice Professional models should be available over there. Be patient and look for one that has retained most of its original shape and is still fairly firm. No big deep depressions or hard, high ridges down the center. And take a look at the adjusting nut and see if it is still located toward the front of the nose of the saddle and hasn't been adjusted too much.

If the one you're looking at meets these criteria and isn't all dried out and cracking, I would go for it.
