That will make a perfect birthday present for a friend; will be in on this closer to the end! Thanks for the heads up.

A bit of a dodgy auction - the listing states that the boots are Edward Green, but the photos are taken from this thread about a Forum member who had some balmoral boots made for him in Vietnam...

So, in other words, whilst they resemble the EG Shannon, they are not. And, of course, they're not chelsea boots, either (which is what the auction states they are).

Whoa that's seriously dodgy - I nearly purchased those (asked to end the auction early)

That's not just dodgy, that's a serious scam.

Yup. Really bad form.

By the way, I just ordered a few Marinella ties and a Drake's tie from you last night - I'm looking forward to receiving them.

That guy's definitely running a scam. He has sold multiple pair. Look at his history. Lots of his pictures are stolen from eBay seller "theworldsfinest."

She even flagrantly states Feinste Handarbeit aus England vergleichbar mit John Lobb, Berluti , Silvano Lattanzi, Stefanobi, Saint Crispin etc... implying/stating that they are NOT the real McCoy/resemble the real McCoy. She actually lists her email on that page as well which is surprising. Listing them as EG is also prohibited I thought..?
