MODEL 1887 CARBINE BOOT- EXCELLENT CONDITION –
LEGIBLY STAMPED ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL: This is
an excellent example of the Model 1887 Carbine Boot,
retaining its full form and all of the full length
straps that have no breaks, tears or other damage. The
seam is intact, the boot retains its shape, and the
brass plate is not flattened or out of shape. The
surface of the leather is excellent, with a bright shiny
surface and no crazing, flaking, or loss of surface
finish to the body of the boot or to the straps.
The front of the boot is legibly stamped “ROCK ISLAND
ARSENAL” and the tips of the suspension strap and the
upper body strap, and the bottom edge of the boot body’s
front are all stamped with the inspector and piece
worker’s initials.
This carbine boot is a top shelf example which would be
difficult to upgrade, and one that will display very
well with your Indian War cavalry collection. (0701)
