I remember there being the #1, #2 and #3 versions, each having a different covering. I had a buffalo version that I rode for many years/miles. No durability issue compared to cowhide.

I browsed the archives, but didn't see an answer to the question I have. I've been watching Unicanitor saddles on Ebay for awhile and see considerable price variance among them. The variance does not seem to correlate exclusively with condition. What factors other than condition and random variance in levels of auction competition contribute to the price of a Unicanitor saddle? Are there certain models or materials or markings that make one worth more than another? Lastly, has anyone ridden a buffalo hide Unicanitor. I know I like buffalo hide shoes, but I wonder if such a soft and textured leather as Buffalo, though durable, would make a good riding surface for my rrrrrhombus. :-)
