Fully treated and not broken in. Large, beaten copper rivets. A couple small scratches, nothing through the tanned finish.
Selling because: Bike came with steel (520gms) framed B17 (cut-out) Imperial, which I replaced with this (440gms) titanium framed Special.
I miss the Imperial's cut-out more than I like the upscale titanium features.
Chapped my hide Brooks does not make a ti framed cut-out hided saddle, so I tried a Berthoud Aravis w/ cut-out (turns out the real actual weight's same 440gms as the Brooks) and fell in love. I won't be going back.
I prefer a San Diego CA buyer to pick up face to face, but could mail. Buyer pays shipping/ insurance of their choice.
$250.00, or Trade for the right alloy or ti frame - to build a 1000 x 1500watt hub-drive. Short List: 26 x 4" tire capable, Size 17, Medium and hard-tails only.
Horizontal dropouts preferred. I have cash to trade up.

Don't get me wrong. This brooks is a superb saddle and the titanium frame provides a distinctly superior feel over the steel frame.
I wish Brooks made a cut-out 'B17 Special'.
Here's the new install.
