REAL 1940s SWISS NAILED BOOTS
We have obtained a few pair of real nailed boots, as issued to the Swiss Army during and after WWII! We estimate their age as 65-75 years old. These are identical to the boots worn by British, European and American climbers before (and after!) World War II, before Vibram soles took over.
The shoemaker or company who made each boot is marked inside the boot. We have actually seen the name Bally inside some pairs. Bally founded in 1851 is now a Swiss maker of expensive fashionable shoes.
The boots have about 77 edge and hob nails in each boot! Larger edge nails are marked 'TRICOUNI BREV SUISSE'. The leather uppers and soles are in well preserved condition. This is a phenomenal chance to get an authentic collector's item. No size choice. Excellent condition although they need a good cleaning.
Postage charges will be based on weight, 5 pounds. About $20 within the USA, $45 to Canada, and $60-$90 to other countries. (Rates can change, these prices are accurate during the winter of 2018-2019.)
