Era of these Roger Vivier heels?

Hello!

We recently acquired a pair of these fabulous suede Roger Vivier heels! The left heel has a Saks Fifth Avenue stamp. The font of the Saks Fifth reminded us of late 1940's. Although the shape and the fact that they are Roger Vivier made us think of the 1960's.
We are just a little confused with the Saks Fifth label, does anyone else know what year these may be?

Thank you so much!

Either 1970-71 or 1993-95 would be my bet. Vivier was semi-retired from 1972-1993, and the almond toe and heel shape with the cutouts plays into that nostalgic 20s/30s look of both those periods.
 
Thank you Jonathan and Melanie!
I have attached a photo of the interior size markings, they are marked as an 8 1/2 AAAA.
We acquired these from the Grand Daughter ( these were her Grand mothers!) most of her items ranged from the early 60's - 70's.
I guess it was just the Saks Fifth label that was throwing us off! The shape of the S in Saks reminded me of an older shoe!

Thank you again!!

I changed my stance, I'm going for mid 60s. They do have a revival look to them so I think it's possibly 60s does 20s. I found lots of 60s Roger Vivier shoes on the Met and Shoe Icons websites with the same logos and markings, the later 80s/90s use a straight capital font and also appear to be marked Roger Vivier on the soles too, together with EU sizing.
