Saddle Damage

[ahlam1399]

Hello I am looking at buying a second hand saddle but the only one that was a good fit with the saddler has some obvious damage. There are scuffs and damage to to cantle area and there is some wear to the seat stitching by the pommel. It also needs re flocking as it?s very solid. It?s a nice English made leather saddle and is a lovely fit but I am worried over time the cantle leather will split further and will need an expensive repair. I can?t see how to attach photos. The saddler said they would take £400 originally priced at £550 but I think this is still too much considering the wear and tear. What are your opinions please.
