IJA boots. If you've seen the Rose Anvil video where Weston cuts a pair in half, you know these were incredibly well-made:

Nice snag on the A-17A! I've been thrilled with mine. If you need a NOS strap, let me know.

I was given the privilege of getting to have dinner with peterburs today. It was the best conversation I have ever had with a veteran, he describe his military career from WWII all the way up to Vietnam. He gave especially amazing detail about his run in with the ME 262.

It’s amazing that the Colonel is 100 years old and is still sharp as a tack and even continues to drive himself around in his own car .

Looks like a lot of great stuff, but I'm kinda glad I'm not there. I'm trying to scrape together the money to maybe semi-retire within the year. Also I don't think people are giving their stuff away at bargain prices either.

Well … last year it was parachutes, this years big purchase …, original mint combat boots and Marine Corp boondockers … both in mint condition. Prices for originals were cheaper than ATF repros …. View attachment 183343View attachment 183345
