Item Description
Original Items: Only One Pair Available. This is a very nice 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 a label under the zipper. One label reads:
28 (LOGO) 6
Hoffmann & Co.
Stadtilm 42 (1942)
And the other label reads:
E. Bickel III 48 28 6 (LOGO)
The original RAPID zippers are in excellent condition. The snaps and buckles are excellent and perfectly functional. The fleece lining is fantastic as are the soles. Black rubber soles feature a Coat of Arms logo over ORIGINAL WILOP. There is little to no wear on the bottom of the rubber soles. There is heavy loss to the fur-lining.
Perfect to complement any heated flight suit, or a great piece on their own. Ready to display!
