I'm with Nick on this one: Pig Skin.
I had a similar saddle in a suede leather version which someone had bought for me as a gift - to match a sport jacket and attache case which I also had owned at that time (1980?). Perhaps 3TTT called theirs "Wild Boar" or some such... but, a pig is a pig.

That saddle is made from the skin of an exotic animal known as a pig. I used to have a briefcase made of the very same material when I was a unsuccessful junior biscuit salesman. I'm terribly sorry if this info affects the ebay value of the item.
