Saddle pics?

I was wondering if someone could post pics of there brooks saddles...especially the underside so I could see how the rivets from the bottom look? I know this sounds like an odd question but I am building a unicycle seat in a Brooks style and need to see under. And just to save an argument I am NOT trying to repro a Brooks....just a similiar style. If anybody could help I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Chris

Actually I have asked around here and nobody is familiar with Brooks....but I did find some underside pics on Ebay. Now I have another question...It seems the leather is only fastened on the front and rear and when you sit you are only suspended by the stretching of the leather, is this true? and what do they feel like to sit on?
Thanks
Chris

You need to buy yourself a Brooks. That way, you'll have something to model your saddle on and a great saddle to put on your bike.
