Subject: [CR]Outing Ideale Rebour Swallow saddle, mine

Gentlemen/Ladies: Allow me another blatant flogging of my wares. I have a rare Ideale D.Rebour "Swallow" type saddle up on eBay. I believe it's properly called a Model 82 Competition, please correct this if I'm wrong. The pictures aren't the very best, but it's in very good shape except of a couple spots of chipping/light rusting on just the rear of the rails. I took a detail shot that makes it look enormous, but is really fairly minor. The leather inself is very sound but has over-all "mottled" look due to water spotting, I think. It's actually kind of attractive to my eye, but that's for you to decide, stampings are very crisp. Here's the auction link: http://ebay.com/<blah> or just search for "Ideale" in the search function, there aren't many! I will ship for free in the CONUS to any CR lister who wins the auction. Please remember I have an old A.17 ITALIA saddle for sale, but not on eBay as I offered it to the list first and have gotten a firm offer so it will stay off the 'Bay...email me for pics if interested, I'm accepting best offer. Thanks once again.
