Brooks saddle what model?

[robrinay]

I’m guessing this is a Brooks Professional - what do you think? It’s off the 1965 Holdsworth Mistral skip treasure. I’ve cleaned the rivets with brass restorer and applied a bit of Pecards to the leather and I’m leaving it to soak in. There’s an odd clamped bracket at the back of the seat which I assume is a saddle bag hanger?

Looks like a pro with small rivets, it should say brooks professional on the side.

It’s old and worn on the side - you can see there was embossed writing but it’s too faint - hence my post.

The long thin embossing is either a pro or a competition, it's the wrong shape for a competition.

The others had a bigger brooks logo iirc. Mind you I am dredging up 40 odd year old memories lol

Is there a model No stamped on the underside, TBH it looks like a 'Swift' but they have bag loops on the Cantle Plate.

It is a Professional, identical to my old ones.

Brilliant thank you.
