Bro, this pair is mine... To give you a clearer I have uploaded bigger image for you to view. These are taken using my iPhone 5 camera indoor under natural lighting and no editing was done.
I prefer this gold museum to the ilcea gold museum for it is more subtle and conservative... Cheers!

Thanks, I appreciate it. They're beautiful! Are you saying you're sure they're made from Bonaudo's Museum Calf and not Ilcea's?

EDIT: Sorry about the multiple posts. I don't know what happened.

I believe I know what happened.. I realized I have uploaded some wrong pic and while editing you replied.... Maybe

Anyway yes I remember arahat told me my gold muesum is not from ilcea but from an Italy tannery which I recall correctly is from bonaudo... Hence the different effect on the effect as compared to the firing reddish tone from ilcea...

That's what I suspected since I noticed you changed pictures, but I didn't want to blame you for my mis-posts, lol =)

So you're telling me I need to hurry up purchasing a pair before Vass runs out of the Bonaudo leather since they've started to restock Ilcea leather again (I think)?

Great Shoes. Both Museum calf are beautiful. Enjoy them!!.

Reszö confirmed that yours are from the Bonaudo leather and the others from Ilcea. I asked Reszö to look if there's any Bonaudo Gold Museum Calf left. In that case, I'm having what you had 1/2 a size smaller.

Men,

I have received word from the artist currently known as Rezső. That brown shoe you asked about before is "museum calf brown on F last." I swear I will never tire to the F-last, it's definitely among the finest RTW lasts in use today.

^^^ Thanks for the info!

Thanks for getting back.

I agree with you. While I find the U-last appealing and sleek, and even find myself liking it more than the F-last (or maybe I'm forcing myself to like U>F), I tend to reach for the F-last almost everytime I seek safe haven. It's sucha well balanced and classic last. Definitely my go-to last.

Those don't look quite svelte enough to be F, so they're probably P2 or Peter. The second one, especially looks Peter-ish. Banana isn't totally out of the question, but I've seen so few of those I wouldn't want to make too wild a guess on that.
