RAF service dress issue shoes

Code: CWS-1

SOLD

Size 9.  Classic black leather service dress shoe with a leather sole and rubber capped heels. The leather is in excellent condition bar minor scuffs and wear. The leather soles and heelplates show light to moderate wear and the linings are quite good.  Each has various contract type numbers and a clear 1945 date.  Although technically a uniform item, many fighter pilots preferred to wear their shoes during flight as they were less bulky than boots.  Extraordinarily rare to find wartime issue shoes.  Stock code CWS-1.
