dustin Posted December 30, 2018 Share #8 Posted December 30, 2018 What you have is a standard variety of a US Navy Foul Weather/Cold Weather overshoe that come in various designs. Another type looks more like the USQMC that has that felt feel. The other overshoes include a Knee and Hip type. I had a pair of other type but they now reside in a Robinb's collection, maybe if he see's this he'll post them, they are stamped N-1 as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pararaftanr2 Posted December 30, 2018 Share #13 Posted December 30, 2018 Great photos Dustin! Here's one in color, where the boots are worn with an N-1 deck jacket. To answer the OP's question, I would think somewhere around $100 to the right buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
