Gents, These Courteney boots were advertised on ebay as being elephant hide. What say the experts? Elephant? Hippo? Something else? Sorry about the large size, I copied the URL from ebay.

Most likely elephant. If you fly into Harare and have time, buy them there. I bought a new pair there at one of the shopping centers for 270.00 They are good, comfortable and don't require much breaking in. | |||

No expert by far, but it doesn't look like any elephant hide items I have. I've got a lot of buffalo leather and a pair of Courtney buffalo boots. Doesn't look like that either. I'm betting on hippo. | |||
