They are much sought after, and difficult to find second hand. I was looking for a prestige last year, as I wanted a top of the range saddle which could be easily adjusted. Let all your local saddlers know, and also just keep looking on the web and also ebay in case one comes up.
In the end, after it became apparant I might be looking forever, and I didn't dare risk spending £1100 - £1500 (which is what they go for second hand) on something unseen over the web, and then being stuck with it if it didnt fit. I got my saddler to bring up as many different alternative saddles within my Budget as possible and I chose a new, made to measure Albion jump saddle in the end.

Opinions are like bum holes, everyone has one.
Prestige are not all that. I had one and got rid of it. It was a single flap Paris K. I sold mine for £750 second hand.

I have one on my boy and gave tried it on my mare who goes so well in it but they jump in the same classes so it's very difficult to keep swapping! Out of interest what did you go for in the end??
