Kinda hard to tell; but, the top and bottom of that saddle looks like it was soaked in some type of oil...... Killed it!

There is a Pensilvania Company that does leather saddle servicing But the Basic B17 is only about $80 new.

[MENTION=400344]willydstyle[/MENTION], a guy here on BF [MENTION=73614]rhm[/MENTION] puts new leather covers on old saddles. Contact him if you're interested.

Tying the skirts together will help keep the center firm and may be enough to save yours.
Good luck.

LACE IT! As impala says this will adjust tension, may be enough.
