Swedish M/39 Boots

I've collected several different kinds of older military boots for a while now, and have decided to post them here on the net.

First off is a pair of Swedish Army M/39 boots. As far as I know these boots were introduced with the M/39 field uniform. There seems to be very little information on the web about the WW2 footwear of Sweden during the War. However, in surplus stores I have found several variations of WW2-era boots worn by the Swedish Army. Sweden never participated in the war, but it did mobilise a sizeable army, creating a need for large quantities of uniforms and equipment. Much of this was never used, and as a result a lot of items have been readily available on the surplus market.

Below is a pair of what I understand to be the standard M/39 marching boot. This pair is a mint and unused size 47, and is made of thick dark brown leather with leather soles, hobnails and heel rims.
