Original Item. Only One Available. This is a scarce set of WWI M1912 Russet Marching shoes, dated 1917. This model of shoe saw heavy service in the U.S. Army from 1912-1917 when they were replaced by the M1917 Marching shoe. However the Model 1912 were still heavily used and a great many of them made it overseas. This example is in near perfect condition with complete laces and a fantastic color & patina. They are dated 1919.

Both shoes retains their laces but both laces have some fraying as shown. They both have markings that are very clear:
