Saddle is super! What is the post size?
The post size is 26.4mm.
The B5N looked pretty good to start with no major cracking or scuffing but it was pretty stiff and dry. Three thin brushed on coats of vintage Neatsfoot oil (friend recently gave me a gallon can with a quart left in it from the 70s) on the underside of the saddle over a one week period, followed by Proofide a week later. This method has served me well on a couple of worse saddles. Too much neatsfoot oil can cause a saddle to go too soft and feel wet for ages.
The "Brooks" label on the rear is badly faded.
