Shire Optimus saddles?

[Paint Me Proud]

Just browsing saddles (after my previous saddle post) and came across the above.

Shires Optimus leather saddles with adjustable gullets.

Brazilian leather with german leather girth straps.

Any one seen one in the flesh or used one.

Have a friend looking for an adjustable saddle and i pointed her towards the gfs genesis synthetic but just seen these and wondered if it's worth mentioning to her.

friend has one, and they are lovely looking. She has havana with the contrast stitching. I'm sure there was a post on here about them not so long ago, but if you google, there are certainly reviews on them.
