Kent and Masters GP saddle

[Caramac71]

Im looking at buying a secondhand K&M GP saddle. I have noticed that some are stamped with size and GP (eg 17GP) and others are stamped with size and MGP (eg 17MGP).

Does anyone know what the M means? And what the difference is between the GP and the MGP?

I have an S series compact GP and it's stamped MGP, just been to check, so I assume it indicates which model it is?

Thank you for checking. I need to be careful then as apparently I want the original gp, not the compact.

i had a standard GP one and it was definitely stamped 17GP.

Thanks for the replies. I phoned K&M for clarification and apparently the "M" part means standard (as opposed to "H" for high wither) and is stamped on both the S series and the original series. However some saddles are just stamped GP and some are stamped MGP in the original series (I'm guessing maybe the ones stamped GP are older) so there doesnt seem to be a foolproof way of identifying exactly which saddle is from which range.
