MODEL 1887 CARBINE BOOT:
A nice full form example, retaining all of the full
length straps, with no breaks, tears or other damage.
The boot is not flattened and the brass throat plate is
fully attached and holds its shape. There is an extra
hole in the strap that depended from the saddle bag stud
and appears to be old work and was well done. Probably
done to lift the boot up further behind the soldier.
The front top rim of the boot is stamped “45” and while
the arsenal stamp is no longer legible, you can make out
the depression where it was stamped in the usual
location. There is some scuffing to the surface of the
leather, but overall it is an attractive, smooth, shiny
surface and will display very well. $375
