GENUINE VINTAGE BRITISH ROYAL ARMY GUARDS MESS DRESS UNIFORM BOOTS U.S. 9-9.5 D

Description: BEAUTIFUL PAIR OF GENUINE AUTHENTIC BRITISH ARMY REGIMENTAL BOOTS. THESE ARE THE TYPE WORN BY THE BRITISH GUARDS REGIMENTS AND WERE MADE BY POLLARD AND SONS OF NORTHAMPTON ENGLAND WHO WERE ONE OF THE SUPPLIERS OF BOOTS TO THE GUARDS REGIMENTS. THEY WERE SOLD BRIEFLY IN THE U.S. THROUGH THE "BRITISH ISLE COLLECTION" CATALOG OVER 45 YEARS AGO! YOU CAN NO LONGER GET THESE BOOTS! THESE ARE TOP QUALITY ENGLISH MADE WELLINGTON STYLE OFFICER BOOTS OFTEN CALLED “DRESS MESS BOOTS” SINCE THEY ARE MEANT FOR FORMAL UNIFORM WEAR FOR SPECIAL OR CEREMONIAL OCCASIONS. THEY WOULD BE DRESS BOOTS FOR WEAR AT SUCH EVENTS AS REGIMENTAL DINNERS, TROOPING THE COLORS, CORONATIONS AND ROYAL WEDDINGS. SEE MY THIRD TO LAST PICTURE. THEY ARE BLACK WITH A STRIKING "HUNTER GREEN" TOP OUTSIDE FRONT STRIP OF LEATHER AND ALSO HUNTER GREEN LINING TO THE INSIDE TOPS THAT GOES DOWN 3 INCHES INSIDE. THEY HAVE TALLER TOPS ON THE REAR THAT MEASURE 13.5” TALL FROM THE TOP OF THE HEEL AND THE FRONTS ARE 12.5” TALL.THE SHAFTS ARE SOFT AND FLEXIBLE AND I HAVE THEM STUFFED WITH PAPER FOR THE PICS. THE TOPS ARE THE SAME HEIGHTS THOUGH THEY MAY LOOK UNEVEN IN SOME OF THE PICS. THE LEATHER TOPS HAVE A BEAUTIFUL GRAIN AND ARE MADE OF KIDSKIN OR GOATSKIN. THE VAMPS ARE TOP QUALITY SMOOTH CALFSKIN THAT TAKES A HIGH SHINE. THE BOOTS ARE UNLINED EXCEPT FOR THE TOP 3 INCHES OF HUNTER GREEN CALFSKIN LEATHER. TWO BLACK LEATHER BOOT PULL STRAPS IN THE INSIDE TOPS. THEY HAVE STACKED LEATHER HEELS WITH RUBBER CAPS MARKED “INDIANA ELITE”. ALL LEATHER SOLES. THEY ARE MARKED IN THE TOPS WITH THE AMERICAN SIZE 10 1/2D (SEE PICS). I CAN GET THEM ON MY 11D FEET, BUT THEY ARE VERY TIGHT IN THE TOES. I THINK THEY WOULD BEST FIT A U.S. SIZE 9 TO 9.5D OK.
