I bought a box of three B17 (Narrow) in very used condition, claimed as 1950s, and all three had a separate layer as in your photos.
One proved 'used' beyond all reasonable repair, one now has different leather so I can't check, but the third has YSG stamped in much the same place as your AMS. Date code perhaps?Edit: https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage/477427-brooks-saddles-date-code-decoding.html
MrE
Bought an early B17 Standard and wondering its age.
It has AMS stamped on the underside of the saddle and also has a extra piece of leather separate from the main saddle leather which to me is unusual.
Does anyone know whether this is a particularly old saddle because of these features?
