SOLD – Luftwaffe Electrically Heated Boots

LW Electrically Heated Boots: Leather boots have four panel suede leggings fitted with 34 cm “Rapid Zippers.” These 24 volt heated boots have the same pattern as the earlier unheated flying boot. The boots were connected by the small snap tab at the top to corresponding tabs on the flying suit or trousers. The left boot zipper has a break and needs to be replaced. The right boot zipper is stuck and may be brought back to working order with a small wire brush to remove dirt and oxidation and then applying petrolleum jelly. The fleece is in excellent condition. The shoe leather is creased on both boots (possibly by setting a heavy box on them for decades); there is no reason they can’t be just like new again with a humidifier treatment and shoe forms.
