These are the A1923 Calcutta derbies I recently picked up from The Library thanks to the good finds thread:

The leather is very substantial and is slightly off-black - a very dark grey.
My only complaint is that the stitches on the sole deviate from the stitch channel in a couple of places, which means they are directly on the sole, and will wear through very quickly. It's a minor gripe I suppose, but something I would think should be picked up as part of the quality assurance process (especially when you consider the price).
