Hi.These are they and this is the bag it came in.

The hammered copper rivets are the size of the standard B17 metal ones. They've definitely not been added later. The rear badge has the older style font.

Possibly a limited edition run? I know they manufactured one very similar in the late 70's/early 80's.

I'll be honest and upfront, I do intend to sell it, on here, for the RRP of a standard B17.

It' not suffered from any drying and is completely unmarked. I'm sure it would look fabulous on a high end tourer.

Any info would be much appreciated.
I know I've never seen one and neither has my m8 who has owned his own shop for over 30 years.

Cheers Pete.

I can't help . Not that older model judging by the bar code . I would try sending pictures to Brooks direct. They used to be helpful on their back catalogue information. There is a Flickr photo group for Brooks.
I had a B17 that looked similar. Nos in a Sturmey Archer box ?
I think they had a tie up with Brooks for a while. Mine had the same rear badge .
