Is this Brooks dead?

[rogerzilla]

Tear right through to underside, not a surface crack (which will usually heal with Proofide and use). Ebay photos didn't show it clearly and it's not mentioned in the description.

can you show a picture of the full saddle and one from the underside of the saddle please?

 

[rogerzilla]

Your wish, etc

i wouldn't fancy riding it or paying good money for it.

You might get a few (not many) miles out of it before it tears all the way across.

Stick a leather patch across the underside with 'Copydex'.

Get it on 'The Repair Shop' and get the lady who repairs leather goods to do it, it'll be like new afterwards! I'm aways amazed at what they can do on that programme

To be fair, it looks like it’s been through the wars. How did it get like that???

I've never seen one split that way. They usually tear across the width, at the nose. Or the rivets rip out.
