There was a pair of 1960s Nunn Bush long wings that sold quickly this morning. They were made in the old Nunn Bush factory based on the lettering. They looked really good but also looked a little off. Like the upper was Corfam. What do you guys think?

I am confident in saying these are not shell cordovan. The eyelets don't look right for shell (no indentation), the end grain on the tongue doesn't look correct both in thickness and texture/color, and the color is far too even across the entirety of the shoe. The LWB pattern would also be very unusual for a shell cordovan shoe given where the usual seams would be.
