I honestly can’t remember now but I do agree with you. I originally bought it off eBay as the right saddle too but it fitted at the time so didn’t really occur to me to look at it. I also once bought a very cheap fairfax that was meant to be 18” and was stamped 17” but that’s another story. Thinking about it I’m pretty sore the pins were blank so most likely a rip off of the ideal. No more eBay buys for me. Probably.
I have an Ideal Jessica bought from ebay that is badged as Martin Wilkinson I think its quite a common thing, mine also has Jessica engraved on the saddle flap although the seller didn't say it was not badged as Ideal I noticed it on the pictures.
Thats terrible that you didn't get the saddle back I think I would have been tempted to pay them a visit just because of the pure cheek of it I would have struggled to just swallow that some people are awful ?
