Great items. I know the Russians did think much of them though.
Cheers, Ade.

And a bad memories back.
I bought one long time ago.
My grandmother gave it to homeless people when I was business traveling.
When I back home,she told me this.
I feel no words..................
Hello,
They're sentry boots only timothy, you wear them in addition to the marching boots...as they have a wooden sole, it's almost impossible to walk a long distance with them....i use to own one pair made by the same manufacturer as yours, but 1942 dated, all leather were light brown. They were gorgeous, i sold them last year but i still have photos on my other computer. I'll post some soon.
Thanks

Sorry about the photos
Thanks
