Leather saddle cover is heavily cracked, flaking, and worn through in many areas with edge loss. Underside cover, springs, and steel frame show heavy dirt buildup, rust, and discoloration throughout. Springs, frame, and integrated clamp remain structurally intact, but saddle is best suited for restoration, display, or parts; no separate seatpost or additional mounting hardware is included.
