I have about three of those type with only one identifiable as a Brooks. None of the others are marked. They are a bit heavy, being made of steel. I disagree with [MENTION=190941]jimmuller[/MENTION] in the weight comment if you consider an American Classic post as a replacement. The Le Champion he references includes a Brooks Pro, which weighs at least a pound, making the clamp a small weight contributor. Plus, the post on the Le Champ is AL unlike many others that are steel.
the post diameter will vary depending on who provided the post, though there are more of some than others. I suspect Brooks set the standard and the deviations were to drive purchase of other clamps and saddles at lower cost.
