Hello,
They're not regulation boots, only privately purchased boots for an Officer.
This type of boots was produced between the 20's and the 60's.
The heel : i see no problem with a Continental rubber heel, it could be original to the boots. Remember that they're not regulation...
hobnails : usually there are no nails on this type of boots
buckle on the shaft : there are known photos that show such buckles on wartime boots like these
42 is not the year, IMO that's the size (that is in centimeters on regulation boots)
The tag could be priod applied or not, impossible to say if it has been added in 1943 or 1959...
Thanks

Indeed 42 is the size of the boot and the 6 is the width of the boot.

Thank you for the information! This helps narrow down exactly what they are. They look good in my collection, so I'm not terribly fussed if they're not strictly from the ww2 era.

Buckles at the top were usually for cavalry soldiers
