ah, i see. if only i could read japanese: http://www.lakota.co.jp/alden/last.shtml
seems weird that the bureau would call it a WWII-era last unless alden actually made boots for the foes. i suspect that may be clarified in the above-linked text that is unfortunately meaningless to me...

great looking boots.  where are those from?  i am starting to put together a list of places that have done specific boot make-ups in the past.

These appear to be the same as one of the boots I have:

Alden for LS
Cigar shell
Trubalance last
270 welt
Antique edge
Waterloc sole

Awesome boots.

I don't know what was going through my head when I decided not to pull the trigger on these. I now know to just order them and decide later.

Maiden voyage of #8 Grant last Cap toe boots.
Bought this boots last summer but didn't have chance to wear them.

So I have Jcrew PCT in size 9. and Indy in size 8.5

Should I order LWB in 8.5? The 8.5 Jcrew perf cap toe was just a bit too snug but I've read that the barrie lasted boots can be a little tighter fitting than LWB.

Also is $540 a good price for a pair of new LWBs?

resposting this hoping for a response! thanks!

Since places like leather soul and leffot seem to stock pieces like this, someone from the cordovan crowd might like to know that there's a natural cordovan watch strap on sale over at J crew (no I don't work there). Details say it's horween natural color.
