RAF 1940 pattern flying boots, S8

Code: B22267

SOLD

Stores reference 22c/438.  Size 8.  The brown suede uppers are lightly marked and rubbed but generally in very good condition.  The rubber “galosh” section has been removed completely leaving just a 'witness mark' / glue residue.  Working 'Lightning' marked zips.  The original 'Itshide' soles and heels are complete but show considerable use.  Light soiling of the dense fur lining which is otherwise in very good condition.  Complete with insoles.  A.I.D. marked zip tongues.  These are genuine 1940 pattern boots, not the more commonly found 1941 pattern with the ankle strap removed.  A rare find these days.  Let down by the rubber galosh but priced accordingly.  Stock code B22267.
