Shoes and cufflinks

I can not have information on the Church's shoes worn by Brosnan in Goldeneye.
Nor can find the model cufflinks worn by Brosnan at the beginning of "The world is not enough" (scene in the bank Bilbao).
Someone can help, even with pictures of objects?

As for the shoes, he wore Church's black oxfords... I'm sure that translate to some style name in Church's (like the TWINE shoes were "Presley's"), but I can't recall offhand.
Church's had print ads for the shoes with Brozza at the time.
Chetwynd is still part of the range and readily available (at least in the UK).
You see scenes on the train and tanks.
Of Chetwynd knew.

EDIT: Narrowed it down to 2 styles, either the Diplomat, or the Perth (From Herring Shoes' website)
It could be the model Legate, but I have news on.

In scenes in the tank, you can see very well the shoes and the tip is smooth.
Even in the book "Eroe con stile", Brioni, (Dressed to kill) on page 91 can be seen clearly the tip smooth.

The tip does not seem smooth, and then it is difficult for it Diplomat or Perth.
does this help?..

i have a pair of these, and the actual dunhills, which i wear frequently..they are a pretty good copy..
Do you have any of the other TWINE cufflinks?
They look spot on to the originals to me, the only thing that is wrong is the bar and stem.
From my knowledge, for example, the "Presley" TWINE models (black and brown) did not make in beyond Church's 2000 range. The Oxfords from the period of the early Brosnan movie appears to tie tally with the "Balmoral" model; the Cheywynd models are - again only to my knowledge - the only shoes in GE - the print-ads of the period features Brosnan in tank outfit wearing black Chetwynd and a shot of him in "Aston-casuals" leaning against the car show him wearing Chetwynd in brown. The Chetwyd brown appear to be the same shoes worn in the Monaco harbour scenes.
I have pairs of both. They are very well made, comfortable shoes. AND they are currently available in Church's range, and have been a perennial classic for many years either side of Bond.
For those not familiar with the model.
The Diplomat have been a permanent fixture in Church's range; Perth seem only to have been listed short-term. The Perth was not listed in Church's most recent - 2007 - catalogue I have. It would seem likely Herring Shoes have old stock which they are clearly selling cheaply (compared with other Church's shoes).
The Diplomat appears in the earliest catalogue I have, 1999. Therefore, most likely the GE shoes.
However, Herring shoes say the Perth is made on Lasr 73; the Chetwynd's I bought in early 1996 were made on Last 73. And as Herring's say, they are the same pattern as the Diplomat. And considerably cheaper, for anyone interested.
Do you have the real ones?
as you see they are brogues....
inside is written...
Diplomat.....
these them there cufflinks Asp9mm?..
hope these pics help...
as you can see, the dunhill version is more sturdy and expensive-looking...
also, as ASp9mm says, the stem and back are much more inferior...
actually, not sure you could wear the replica ones on missions where you might be throwing yourself around....
