<quote> Brooks saddle (im sure it is a brooks saddle however
the little badge on the back is missing) chrome is fair
would need rechoming to make it mint, there is some rust i
have started to polish it most come off leaving slight
pitting in the chrome (email for more pics if req) top is
good although right at the front on the edge is worn
through. Overal with a bit of time spent polishing and
cleaning it would look good on a bike </quote>

So just get filing them rivets!
