Info on this Ideale saddle?
 
Lookee what I found at the LBS today:

An Ideale model 90 saddle! I'd been looking for one, and this one, while scuffed up from being in the LBS back room, is in pretty good shape. The thing I noticed as odd though, is how it has the wide, hammered rivets like on the Brooks Special models. Never noticed those on an Ideale before.

yeah they are usually smaller and often stamped "ideal" but I have seen a few with this style rivet, too...in fact I own one but it may also have been altered by a "customizer". Really nice find, and it's got the Rebour treatment too...you'll like it.
Edit: the one I had that used the large copper rivets was not a 90, but rather a "swallow" type of Ideale, not sure if factory-done or a good custom job, here's a pic:
