British made mountain boots dated 1944 with US made climbing cleats

British made mountain boots dated 1944 with US made climbing cleats in good condition. The boots look to have very little wear but there is a cut in the top of the boot. The boots retain a pair of period rayon laces with metal tips. The boots are often referred to as ‘Boots, FP’ standing for Finnish pattern. The metal cleats on the sides of the soles are marked US, and the cleats on the inside of the soles are also typical US issue. It is plausible that the boots were modified for use by US mountain troops. This is a nice pair that would look great on a British or US mountain mannequin!
