This is a rare original pair of German WWII Luftwaffe Paratrooper Officer and Pilot Officer Jack-boots with zippered sides and rubber Continental soles similar in style to the 1st Pattern Paratrooper side-lace Jump boot soles. The boots are really interesting, are in about a US 9 1/2 or 10, and are in excellent condition showing honest use and no abuse. In fact, they are sturdy enough to be worn today. The leather is a nice even black color and is sturdy and strong. These boots measure 11 1/2” from the heel to the toe and are 4 1/4” wide at the widest part of the sole. They are 13” tall at the top of the barrel. The sole is a single piece Continental Brand type with chevron design very similar to the Paratrooper boot. The bottom of the arch area is marked with the Continental brand logo. Inside each boot top is the standard German boot marking in a single line. However, it is pretty worn and illegible. I have photographed it but it doesn’t show up well. The zippers are “ZIPP” brand like those found on Paratrooper jump smocks and on many Luftwaffe Pilot uniforms. The zippers are fully functional and have been photographed in the open and closed positions. The inside is partially lined with sheep wool which shows wear. These boots are very impressive looking and are quite heavily made. This is one of the rarest pair of German WWII boots I have ever had. They have not been recently cleaned, oiled or shoe-polished and have a nice, untouched look. These are rare, rare, rare. Good luck.

Thank you and good luck in your bidding. NOTE to eBay: I do not list any item that violates any of eBay’s listing policies. While this listing is for an item produced in Germany during the WWII period, there are no Nazi or otherwise offensive markings on it, nor does it have any connection to a Nazi organization. This lot is fully compliant with eBay’s restrictions on WWII German items.
