173 is a mix of both the 103 & the 73. the 103 was shorter in the toebox and had sort of a downward slope at the tip of the toe. I believe the 73 had more volume in the vamp area. The combination should be self explanatory. I believe the 73 & 103 are no longer made.

Herring Shoes have in stock some models on the beloved 73 last.
Cheaney also made shoes with this last, renamed 2003.

Last 100 was made for some years and then replaced by 173.
