juno-44 Posted May 25, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 25, 2020 Hi to all, Are these original W.W.2 issued rough out service shoes? The only marking I see is its size (10) stamped on the inside shoe tongue. Thanking you all in advance and hoping to hear from some of you very soon. Regards, juno-44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costa Posted May 25, 2020 Share #2 Posted May 25, 2020 if im not mistaken, they should be marked on the side at the ankle with the date, maker, qm number and size. not saying they are reproductions. they look good but, those I have seen are marked in the fashion I mentioned.

juno-44 Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted May 25, 2020 Hi Costa, Thanks for getting back to me. I see a faint white stamp on the inside of the left shoe. Very hard to see. Regards, juno-44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costa Posted May 25, 2020 Share #4 Posted May 25, 2020 HERE IS SOMETHING ELSE I JUST NOTICED----------------- WERE YOUR PAIR ONCE 2 BUCKLE BOOTS WHERE SOME ONE REMOVED THE TOPS OFF?? in one picture of the back it looks to be uneven one side higher then the other from the center. maybe that is why the is no printed info at the ankle of the pair. sure, that makes cense. here is a 2 buckle boot with its markings------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According the Shelby Stantons book, the double buckle boot was just the roughout boot with the buckles added on top. Hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juno-44 Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted May 26, 2020 Hi Costa, Again thanks for getting back to me. The shoes never had tops as I see no stitching holes in them. Were all shoes stamped with QM markings? Regards, Michel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juno-44 Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share #9 Posted May 27, 2020 Could they be W.W.2 private purchase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pararaftanr2 Posted May 29, 2020 Share #10 Posted May 29, 2020 You mention you see no stitch holes around the top, but they do look rather rough and uneven there from your photos and the rear reinforcement extends slightly above the top edge on the left boot. I'm with Costa, it looks like they are cut down from double-buckle boots. The good news is, with a pair of leggings over them, no one could tell the difference.

huntssurplus Posted May 29, 2020 Share #11 Posted May 29, 2020 I'd have to agree, they look like cut downs. Hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
