I thought it'd been a lot longer than 12, or even 22, years since Brooks made a "just a Professional, not a Team Pro" saddle with small rivets, no carving or skiving, and a chromed steel frame?

If that's true, then the age and condition would be a much better match, and indicative more of neglect than abuse. Which is being borne out by the saddle's response to my mono-buttocked resuscitation efforts. About which a post will be forthcoming soon.
