I need to askthe assitance of those who know what I do not!

I know very little about the iconic "jackboot" other than to tell the difference between some officer and soldier patterns but then not in great detail.

A friend of mine has the boots pictured here and has asked me for info about them. I had to admit I don’t know but that "I know a man (men) who probably do".

So, please tell me as much as possible about these boots, I am keen to learn as is my friend.

The spurs did not come with the boots but I am pretty sure they are German. The rubber heels on the boots are obviously replacements but I do believe that rubber heels were around at the time.;

Thanks for any input.

Regards

Mark
