Original British Army Ammunition Boots With SV Commando Sole - Size 13

An original pair of 1963 dated British Army Ammunition Boots with an Itshide 'Commando' Sole in a large size 13.

This pattern of boots was used by the SAS and the Commandos amongst other units during the Second World War with the pattern still being used well into the 1960s unchanged. Whilst post-war dated, they are an extremely good stand-in for a wartime example as they are virtually identical.

The boots feature the standard black coloured pebbled leather uppers seen on all ammo boots along with a toe cap and 6 black painted metal eyelets. The Itshide soles feature the correct flat head screws as used during WW2. Inside the boots are stamped with the number 13 which denotes the size as well as the date 1963 and the maker's name although this is hard to see and even harder to photograph!

The condition of the boots is good with some signs of wear and age. The soles are in reasonable condition as are the insoles which have some small areas missing and signs of use. This is a vintage, pre-owned pair of boots which has been worn so please take time to study the pictures before purchasing.

Overall, a good pair of boots which would be ideal for a collector interested in SAS or Commando items or a re-enactor with large feet!
