It's not a Corbin ,Sprocket - looks like a standard seat that's been repadded and finished.

Default compare

Checked out my old Regular and it's no match for this .........weird
It may be a one off............just a custom or modified job

Feel free to edit it out

here's a comp set of pics between my new corbin 2008
and the other one on ebay

Earlier Corbin Pans were supplied I believe and vary from
current Corbin pans

It is a Corbin but it looks like someone re-covered it. You can tell it's a Corbin by the "U" shaped catch.
They covered over the two rearward rubber stand-offs that sit on the frame rails (see sprockaholic's saddle).
The tab that slips under the tank hinge is missing.
The best part is that someone went crazy with a staple gun.

Well whatever it is, I think the consensus is that nobody here is going to buy it in a hurry.
Tell you what it's the funniest Corbin I've ever seen..................
It looks like an advert for the Cardinals ! he he

I think it says a lot for the guys taste that the seat matches the colour scheme of his rug rather well
