U.S. Army Officers Cavalry Style Riding Boots

Leather high top boots and laced at ankles with russet brown colored leather. Boots come with the wood shapers and they have the owner name in pencil “V.A. Beers, Capt. CE” He entered Army in 1915 and was West Point Cadet 1916, and was 2nd Lt in 1918 and was Capt. in 1934 and Col. In 1948, Ret. in 1953. The boots would be 1916 to the 1930’s period “Vere Alfred Beers”. There are no size marking in the boots but look size 8 or 9. The leather is still nice but they could use some polish, there are some minor scuff marks but polish would take all of this away. The leather soles show some age with some wear to the leather heals. Overall very nice with some age and wear. Great Display item for WW I / 11. Exc. + $175.00 RARE
