Another neglected and abused part from the lot of parts I recently picked up. I'm not looking to sale just curious what brand and age it could be.
I'm certainly not a saddle expert but I have heard of Brooks and Ideale, this one seems to be different. I know it is really beat up and the stamps are not legible but there is something there, just barely.
Sides have a oval stamp with what looks like a winged "M" in the middle. There is another oval on the top with only a few letters legible, "OUPO" on the top, "RANT" on the bottom.
Any ideas what the maker could be? Perhaps a rebranded Brooks?
Thanks!
