The saddle does not take up much storage room and, with that in mind, I would be tempted to just put it away, just in case. You can pitch it, or give it or sell it anytime.
These days, though I have little room to store things, I still do not pitch too many things, unless they take up too much storage space. A saddle, I keep, even a damaged and very entry level one...
This saddle was the saddle on the 1972 Bottecchia Professional and the Giro D'Italia, so not only entry level.
