The line under "Genuine Shell Cordovan" is Mod922.T 7 1/2 N12.687 Bottom line is Made in Spain. Unfortunately they use a fine pen and the shoe has brown leather inside it so it is difficult to read and impossible to photograph. The shoe has some red in it but I would hesitate to call it Cordovan. More like a real brown. I did take a picture of it next to my Cordovan AE Leeds and if you will send me your phone or your email I will get that picture to you. It might help you understand the color better.

I think these images are very true to the actual color of the leather.

I can't say my shoe collection is as extensive as Aportnoy's but it was on the way to being close. I retired a bit over 4 years ago and have not worn a leather shoe since. So I have these wonderful shoes sitting in the closet gathering dust. If you wear a 9D US, let me know what you like; EG, JL, Purple Label by EG, Vass, Bontoni, C&J, or Barker Black and I will have 1-5 examples of the brand. I will be happy to post any of them in the For Sale section that are wanted.
