Subject: [CR]"French Design" Ideales

I've run across some Ideale saddles on eBay marked as "French Design". I believe these were discussed here a while back, but I don't recall that there was a conclusion as to who made these or in what country. "French Design" would seem to imply that actual manufacturing was not in France. Does anyone know? Also does anyone actually own one or more of these saddles? If so, how does the quality compare to French made Ideales?
