I will let you all know. I owe gratitude to several on the forum to help me refine my choices ?
For context, for my shoes the maestro uses the M 263 last which less volume in vamp + instep and heel cup. He recommended it for my first pair. It worked like a charm?
So, my pair is built with the Aurum Almond toe shape (M27) with adjustments for toe room, low vamp/ instep and heel cup.

What’s M263?

From what Angela and Antonio told me, this is a last they created, perhaps for Medallion... I am not sure. It accommodates low volume feet, and lower arch/ instep.

Since I didn't have the wherewithal to go full Aurum and bespoke last, this last in their 'library' best fit my measurements.

Wondering if the look and fit would be more comparable to G&G. AM unfortunately tend to have too much instep for me and require thick tongue pads and insoles to fit.

so @deez shoes, @Jmr928 I think one of you guys might know, is that chisel 3 or chisel 4 (and which one is suppose to be chisel M)?

Chisel M is supposed to be Chisel 3. I'm still confused about the difference between chisel 3 and A207. Maybe @AngelK knows??
I’ve got chisel 3 and A207 - Whenver I can sneak to my closet and wander around in random pairs of shoes to take notes on the differences without my bride looking at me like I’m a crazy person for taking fit notes for friends on a forum I’ll do some testing and snap some side by side pics.
