RAF 1943 pattern flying boots

Code: B22671

The wartime 'escape' pattern flying boot.  Approximately size 6 or 7.  The suede uppers are in good condition with only light rubbing and soiling.  Good straps/buckles.   Both Air Ministry marked zips look good but unfortunately the one in the right boot doesn't mesh and cannot be fastened.  The shoe sections are sound but somewhat scuffed and would certainly benefit from a good polish.   Both soles and heels are original but with heavy wear, notably at the toe of the left boot - see photographs.   The fur linings are grubby but in good overall condition.  No insoles fitted.  Not great but they do display quite well and the faulty zip could be replaced.   Stock code B20671.
