Can someone identify this Laceleaf Japanese Maple? Please

Hello, can someone identify this Laceleaf Japanese Maple for me? I think it's a Crimson Queen Laceleaf Japanese Maple but, not sure. Here's a link below of the photo. Thanks.

Looks very much like "Acer Palmatum Disectum garnet".

It's seems to have the grey cast to the leaves that I normally see in 'Crimson Queen'; I think boo got it right, but hard to say. Could be 'Garnet', 'Inaba Shidare', 'Red Select' or a new selection... pretty muddy water there...

Of the options so far, Garnet can be discounted due to it's darker leaves plus more open lobes and given it's age, probably 15 to 20 years old, would have to have been commonly available then. Also, Red Select is the same as Inaba shidare.

The only real difference between Crimson Queen and Inaba shidare is larger and more spreading leaves on the latter, so squinting at the picture and attempting to judge relative sizes, I would come down in favour of Crimson Queen. It is also a cultivar that originated in the USA so would be available everywhere.
