    Default US Jump boots - help authenticate

    Hey guys,

    I picked up a pair or what was advertised as ww2 paratrooper boots. They were a nice couple and the gentleman told me they were his neighbors from when he was younger. Said he was a paratrooper in the war and got banged up and never married or had kids. He said he gave them to him when he moved. They are also selling a very nice Luftwaffe winter flight helmet so they at least know a bit about the stuff. From the research I have done they meet all the standards of the Corcoran jump boots besides having a date stamped in them. Clearly you can see March 5th 1943 stamped on the inside wall of one boot. Inside both are marked 8 1/2 C where the insert would go. Just curious if you guys could give me any help on authenticating them. I wont be surprised if they are just reproductions all beat up. Any help is appreciated! Not sure how to rotate the photos, sorry about that.

    From their construction they look original to me. Nice find.
