Ok I'm super confused now.
I thought the big stamp on the bottom was a unique serial number because I had to provide it to brooks when registering, but it's actually a production lot code. Thought it was weird it was only 3 characters long.
However.. there's a stamp defect before the "1" which matches. And there's another number stamped (serial number?) which you can just about see the last digits of in the ebay photos. Also the discolouration around the borders of the holes is quite distinctive. And it was posted 12 hours after being stolen! Case closed.
However however.. the rivets don't seem to match exactly. And the ebay leather looks quite new I think? And the rest of the photos of the top of the saddle don't look like mine. Even if they polished and tensioned it, I can't imagine mine looking like that. I thought maybe they'd combined photos of different saddles but now I'm questioning the whole thing.
Photo with the saddle clamp is mine from 3 years ago. Other photo is from ebay. It's the same saddle right??
