At last I had the opportunity to find these jackboots.
They are heavy boots of hardened blackened leather. The feet have soles made up of several layers of nailed leather. Wide bootlegs with heavy sewn-on knee flaps .One boot with an iron spur.These boots which were worn by armoured cavalrymen to protect their legs from slashing.
any comments on it will be welcome.
