Original U.S. WWI Pair of M1917 Marching Shoes - Size 7 1/2 - Boston Depot Marked
-
Original Item. Only One Available. This is a scarce set of WWI M1917 Marching shoes, which are well-marked but without a complete date we can see. This model of shoe saw heavy service in the U.S. Army during WWI, having replaced the Model 1912 Russet shoes. They are matched, size 7 ½.
Both shoes retains their laces but both laces have some fraying as shown. They both have markings that are very clear:
W.H. McELWAIN COMPANY
7 ½ EE H 2071
BOSTON DEPOT
SPEC. 1271 CONT. 1446 OCT. 15.
The soles of both shoes show very moderate use. This is a fantastic set of shoes that would fit well in any WWI Display! Comes ready for further research and display.
