Description
This is an original pair of WWI U.S. puttees. These were the predecessor to the canvas M-1938 leggings and would have been bound around the soldier's trousers down to their boot, providing both support and protection from dirt and debris. They are constructed of olive drab wool and have herringbone twill (HBT) leg ties.
Provenance
Personal Collection of Chelius Carter
Condition Report
Fair
Good
Excellent
These puttees appear to be in excellent, unissued condition, which is pretty remarkable for being well over 100 years old.
