Greetings all,
These boots are in great condition so I thought it worth a share.
I believe this pattern is the '1939 pattern'. A russet brown leather (almost red) ankle-height boots. They are quite solid and much heavier than they look. The side of the boot is marked with the number '100' which I believe is the Japanese size marking. The leather gaiters are also in excellent condition and I believe them to be period. They are a nice match in colour.
Any help with the kanji characters within the circle on the soles would be much appreciated. In addition I would love to know what the pen markings inside the boots say. Many thanks in advance.
The very best regards to all,
