Thank you.

What do you want to know beyond they are Poulson Skone?

Have a pair from Poulson Skone made in the 80's.
Showed the shoes to Tony Gaziano and he identified the individual who made them from the nail pattern. This person who made the shoe had a specific detail in his work that was sort of his signature.
Send these pictures to Tony at G&G and maybe he would know.

Dunno if this is helpful. Cut from the N&L website:


The first shoemaker to join ranks with New & Lingwood was J. Gane & Co, which was founded just up the road on Eton high street in 1854. Mr Gane’s shoes were exceptional and he racked-up a small fortune making shoes for Eton’s students and academics, which made a partnership between the two shops a natural move in the early 1930s. Then there’s Poulsen, Skone & Co., which was founded in St James’s in 1890 and incorporated by New & Lingwood in the early 1970s. It’s a well-known sartorial legend among men’s style obsessives that the late George Cleverley consulted for New & Lingwood and designed the Poulsen & Skone range until his death in the early 90s, lending the house’s shoes no small amount of cachet. Combined, these two shoemakers add in excess of 200 years of shoemaking heritage to the house.

I suppose I just wanted to know if there was a way to tell the individual who made it, I posted them on reddit and there were a few different answers but don't know a lot about shoes myself.
Thanks for the pointers I might check that out.
