Pair of ww1 british boots

[M18922]

hello all, i found some boots for sale in my local auction house for 30euro!
it says they are british ww1 and I have high hopes for them being original.
but i could be wrong.
there is two pairs of boots and only one picture per boot.

well lets just hope no one else bids

The pair on the left were a private purchase boot that were very popular with American officers also.

[M18922]

I think I might buy these. any more oppinions are welcome.

[Adrian Stevenson]

Both pairs look fine. These boots are all private purchase and come in several similar styles.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks ade, what would these boots be worth?

[Adrian Stevenson]

30 euros would be a very good price. They are worth more than that. But don't go overboard in bidding. These boots survive in much higher quantities than Other Ranks issue boots as Officers took them home with them. I don't know how high demand is for these, but I would not pay too much for them. Do a search and see what dealers advetise them for.

Cheers, Ade.
