Is that 4th one the Stingray whole cuts?

Looks like it from the picture but i´m not sure. In the website it says that they have four new models but only pics of three. To stock up on a stingray WC would be one gutsy move

Yes, it is stingray and it is the owner`s own shoe.

Best.

Does anyone know this shoe model?

I guess it would be considered a true balmoral?

I had them make this shoe without going bespoke http://centipede.web.fc2.com/gandg3.html

Use the Kent model as the base and remove the medallion. Then ask for imitation brogueing and punching along the apron. I added steel eyelets and asked to remove the single stitching along the throat

This does not require a pattern change...thus it can be done via the MTO

I've found this. Its the Warwick. Looks close? Oh! seems to have only 5 eyelets. Also would need to change the last for a sleeker look.
