Original German WWII Pair of Luftwaffe Electric Heated Leather Flight Boots
In stock
-
Original Items: Only One Pair Available. This is a very nice unmatched pair of German World War Two 1940 Pattern Luftwaffe Airman's Flying Boots, which appear to have been used thoroughly. The construction is of black leather for the shoe area and black suede for the shafts. Electrical elements are enclosed in the boot with the standard Luftwaffe "male" press-stud connectors at the top. These would snap onto the matching "female" connectors on the flying suit or trousers.
These 24 volt electrically heated boots are the same pattern as the standard single zip flying boot but feature a heating element in the foot section. These are of early-war type construction, the suede upper panels being of generally even color and the buckles and zips zinc plated steel. Later issued boots would feature an increased number of panels and plastic zips.
Each boot has “CAT’S PAW / WON’T SLIP” heels.
Each boot has a tag near the top, but they are different tags which means this is an unmatching set that was married together later. One of the labels is too worn to read, but the other retains a faint logo marked RETRO next to:
Psl. 1004
24V …
No. 6062
One boot has a LENZIP zipper and the other is missing the zipper pull and has a ring, so we are unsure of the maker. One shoe has some tearing of the leather near the bottom of the back.
A rough but genuine set, ready for display.
