Fair condition Brooks Swallow, I've had this a brief while and it's fine, I just prefer my Fizik Rondine to be brutally honest and my Brooks Pro on one of the racers so...
The A60 markings on the underside suggest 51 years old and there are plenty of scuff marks & cracking to show it..There are splits in the leather at two of the rivets at the side and there's also some damage near the nose. The adjusting nut hasn't been tightened at all in its life from the position of the screw, this is a bit rusty as is the underside of the frame at the rear. Chrome rails show signs of tarnishing but are solid nonetheless.
I can email full size close up photos from all angles to show every detail.
I've given this a lashing of Jeffries Leather Care a few weeks back (beeswax based formula used on VERY expensive horse saddles so plenty good enough for a Brooks) and it has helped the appearance of it at the very least, I'll give it another layer top & under before it leaves me.
