Germany, SS. A Pair of Allgemeine SS Officer’s Leather Boots

(SS Paar Stiefel für Offiziere). An extremely well-preserved and matching pair of Allgemeine SS Officer’s leather boots. Each constructed of multiple pieces of thick, blackened leather with double machine-stitching reinforcing all seams. The sole of each boot features an elevated, multi-piece reinforced heel secured in place with an array of magnetic metal hobnails. Embossed onto the mid-section of each sole is a SS insignia consisting of double Sig runes, a Reichszeugmeisterei (RZM) logo, and a code of “193/38”. The interior of each boot is finished in light brown leather and features dual rayon straps set into the sides, each fastened into a loop. Additional marks identical to those found on the sole are stamped onto the interior of each boot in black ink. The boots both measure 98 mm (w) x 302 mm (l) x 480 mm (h) and correspond approximately to a North American size 11. Minor creasing and scuffing consistent with light usage is evident, but the boots remain in an overall near extremely fine condition.
