Kashimax Five gold saddles in black suede come up nos every now 'n' then on eBay. Usually sell for well over a hundred pounds tho. :daumenhoch:
They are real suede too. And do look dark grey if the suede is brushed whichever way that catches the light right. Especially once they've worn in a bit ;) G.
