Wehrmacht (Heer) M33 Marching Boots
Rare original pair of early M33 Reichswehr/Wehrmacht (Heer) lace-up jackboots (Schnallenstiefel). The M33 marching boots were oficially discontinued in 1935 but still in use in the early stages of the war and can be seen in many photos from the invasion of the Czech Republic, Poland, Belgium an the Netherlands. The boots are made of natural brown leather, complete with all hobnails and iron parts. The boots are showing different markings inside the shafts, however the soles are showing matching markings and numbers, this is definately a pair and issued as a pair. The boots are size 28 marked which is a perfect size for display on a mannequin. They are complete with their original leather laces. One of the boots is showing an unit marking '2./JR19' (Infanterie-Regiment 19), this regiment took part in the invasion of Belgium in May 1940. The boots are showing the expected period use and wear, this pair would display great on an early combat uniform. Extremely hard to find original pair of early M33 jackboots!
