DominickLeeIt's a stamping on the shell cordovan leather. Ashland makes wallets that are not shell cordovan leather and wouldn't have the stamping, but I think all of the shell wallets have it. You would probably have to talk to Ashland directly on their website to see if they could make you a shell wallet without the stamping.
DominickLeeFor enthusiasts, the stamp is actually enviable as not all Shell Cordovan products come with the stamp and it is really by chance to get one with the stamp.
DominickLeeLoL, people who are getting wallet that is made from shell cordovan all really want the stamp, this is like when you buying LV bag, you will want to show off the LV logo.
