I don’t know my type study stuff that well*, but what are the odds someone
put type 8 running gear on a newer cordovan maroon sole?  None of the
reputable sites have a reference to maroon or cordovan tied to type 8,
except some noob asking about his plane with cheap adjusters, etc.

 * not enough to know what markings are supposed to be on the sole in type
8 vs 21.  I know the hardware is all interchangeable til Made in England.
Just something I never cared about.

yesterday, due to similar reasons, but fixed differently.
