British Pattern 9902/1918 Trench Boot (Single)

Single example (left) boot has a distinctive smooth leather toe cap over rough-out brown leather with sewn construction and riveted at the vamp, with punched BroadArrow marking on the upper side and size markings on the tongue.  Sole has size marking, with hobnails, heel rim, and toe plate.  Brass eyelets have a hint of verdigris that will need to be periodically addressed, complete with an original leather thong lace.  Though a single, an excellent example of this scarce boot in fine condition.
