Anyone know what kind of saddle this is? No markings of any kind. Leather is 5mm thick. Found on Ebay; seller didn't know anything about it. Thanks for looking.

no pictures or anything? good luck!

Not sure what's wrong with my flickr links. If you right click on them you can open the links in a new window, but I at least can't view them directly. I used to right click the image in Flickr and select "copy image address". Now that's not an option. Anyone else having this trouble?

never mind; figured it out

Yeah, I don't see pictures or even links. But when I hit 'reply with quote' the links appear. I copied them to msword and opened them from there...

But to answer your question: no ideas, but it looks like a nice saddle.

It looks like a Brooks, but obviously has no markings indicating this. Could be a Japanese Brooks copy, but they usually had a "Belt" name on the side. Either way, it sure looks very nice.

Thanks for the replies. I've never seen a tensioner like this one on a Brooks. The saddle does seem pretty nice, which is what I find curious. Why would someone make a nice saddle and not brand it?

Could it be a Lepper?

It's hard to tell for sure from that one photo, but the lack of the traditional brooks adjuster bolt makes me think it's a Gyes, or however you spell it. A modern reproduction, made in Taiwan, although apparently of great quality. They use a 5mm allen wrench for adjustment instead of that strange little brooks things. They make saddles under their own label, and for a few other companies, V-O included.

This uses a philips for the adjuster, so who knows?

I'm trying the links again. Sorry for the missing pics.
