^^Yep, I saw and put that Beck on here a few days back. Glad someone else saw it and re-posted as this one deserves some more exposure. It is in amazing shape, and that back -- one piece with so much graining already. If it still smells new -- which is indeed possible, what a find indeed! :)

Here's a good shot of the back:

Finally figured out what my Per3 I used to have was inspired by. It was pretty much a copy of this but with a dpocket in front instead of the usual Perfecto set up. Had the tucked in side laces, clean tight gussets, etc. The original beck is nice no doubt, but that Per 3 was fire. If you looking for a cheaper option. I think there was another for sale in our classifieds a while back.

Vanson Oxford in brown horsehide. Size 44. Showing some scuffs but looks solid. Currently $411 USD buy-it-now, which is a good price for a Vanson horsehide in a size that you don't see come up in Japanese sales very often. The scuffs will likely disappear with a little oil treatment or shoe polish.

And another, This one a Vanson Enfield, also size 44, lighter brown, horsehide, better condition, currently at just $185 with 12 bids and 2 days remaining. I'm tempted by these, but I think they're too big. I do best in a 40 in this Vanson style. It looks very similar in color to Horween natural CXL.
