RL Made in England bench made mail pattern - Whodunnit ?

[Kawini]

Good morning experts. Does this nail pattern on an RL pair of shoes look familiar to anyone?

I think they were made by C&J

The Seller also says C&J, but the interior markings are unfamiliar to me. Also - and I’m just a novice - I didn’t know that C&J bench made shoes have closed channel soles. Is it possible that interior markings and soles are specific to shoes that C&J made for RL?

Thanks!

This is just an older C&J marking style

C&J does both closed and open channel soles. For its own brand, handgrade line is closed channel sole.

C&J also made both closed and open channel soles for BB Peal & Co. And the interior markings were the same style as you seen on RL
