The side pic shows it better. Looks worse than the first photo. While it's not sagging, there is a shift in the direction of the leather, and that area is starting to wear through. The leather at the nose is angling up, while after the nose piece, it becomes horizontal. The leather looks worn and dried out in that area. Is there wear on the underside? What I would do is de-tension the saddle completely, move the nose piece around where it clamps to the rails. It can get stuck in a position, which would start deforming the leather. Give the leather a solid treatment on the underside, then on the raw exposed leather on the top. Then re-tension, while trying to keep the nose piece as horizontal as possible. David Chicago
