Greetings,
The picture below is a cropped image from the picture of the young Lt. being discussed in another thread. My question involves the type of boot being worn by the officer whose leg can be seen in the bottom of the picture. It appears as though the boot has a two-piece front, rather than the one piece front available on most of the high-end boots. I've only seen the two-piece style on "economy" boots, and was under the impression that a two-piece front was a later style and not period correct for our time frame. To me, however, this pic suggests otherwise.
Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing in this picture, or is this a different style of boot entirely? Is the two-piece style of boot out there today actual period correct? I've been trying to research boots online, but can't seem to find out definitively when the two-piece front common on modern boots (and the aforementioned "economy" boots) came into being.
Thank you in advance.
