Hello! I got these as part of a lot, and was wondering if they were orignal or reproduction. They were used by a reenactor and have later repairs, but I’m unsure about the boots themselves. Thanks!

I’d say original

    I'd agree. They look original to me. Typically you don't see repairs on repro WWII combat boots. Also, those appear to be original vintage soles, as I would assume they were re-soled after the war.
