On a Prestige, I think you will find Cinelli and or 3ttt, especially when paired with the 3ttt bar and stem combo. Finding one with the Masi M foil or solid color stamping will be a trick. I've seen them, and one sold on ebay quite a while ago for a handsome sum. Alloy rails are acceptable for this timeframe too.

When I worked for a shop that sold Carlsbad Masis, we would switch out the saddle almost all the time for a #3 or #3L Cinelli. The suede #2, matted down in short order, and looked really bad at the halfway point of the matting down process. Suede brush to keep it up? Surely you are joking, we were riding.
