I managed to purchase a box of boots the other day from auction for a very reasonable price. Included in the box were two pairs of WW2 period private purchase officers boots, one with a stamp for a maker from Portsmouth, however, my reason for buying the box was the 1945 dated ‘mosquito’ boots. These are quite rare and sought after so I was amazed that I managed to get them. The boots are all size 11. They also came with their ‘trees’ along with some extra which I’ve put in my other boots.
First up the brown boots
