"Special" leather saddle
Sat I was at a vintage swap meet. While digging through a box of "stuff" I came across a black leather saddle. It looks just like my brooks B-17 except the rivets are smaller and stick up a little. Under frame looks identical, leather looks a bit thicker. There is a label on both sides that is an oval with SPECIAL in script with the words superior quality, and made in japan. I picket is up for $15 and plan to put in an my mountain bike. Anyone know anything about these saddles?
Here are a few shots of it

It looks just like my Brooks B17 Champion only yours has a stainless or chrome frame. Mine only has a black frame. The rivits on yours are about the same size as mine.
