Default Saddlebag bracket

I've got a pair of saddle bag brackets (unfortunately one has been cut off) for a rigid frame fender. Besides the mounting holes, there is a couple of holes on either side of what appears to be a loop to hold a lock?
Does any one know if they made the leather saddlebags removeable. Does anyone make them now? The only ones I've seen seem to permanently bolt to the rear fender.
Who makes a good set of leather saddlebags for rigids?

Thanks for your help. I'll check both of these out. Do you know if the bags are easily removed from the bracket when mounted on the fender?
