General Information
Rock-hard leather, 5 mm thickness, with some sort of fiber underlay to leather top ("internal mudguard").
Bought NOS without underframe, equipped only with the riveted steel adjustement stop at front and rear Idéale badge (presumably a spare/replacement cover for rotten seats).

Now fitted with non-original Idéale "60 Record" aluminium rails and rear cantle plate, which fit perfectly underneath.
Browsing the web, it seems Idéale "44" originally came with steel rails.

Brand Information(click to expand)
Tron & Berthet made saddles branded Ideale, BIM, and Norex.

Katia Dayde: "BIM was a sub-brand of Tron & Berthet, as Norex. The family Berthet told us that for BIM it was a way of selling lowest quality leathers. Norex was dedicated to North Europe market as Mme Berthet came from Belgium, they developed some specific models for this market."
