Vintage Leather Saddle Identification?

Looks to be a nice older saddle, has the letters “BG” embossed on the sides. Chrome rivets.

Also has KSM marking on the bottom.

Any ideas?




Square tension bolt.

Nailed it. Now what the heck is the BS marking. Earlier Bridgestone guess makes some sense.

Bull Skin? I mean, it's a leather saddle and the Japanese have been known to use literal translations in their naming conventions
