Description: " YOU ARE PURCHASING: AN ORIGINAL PAIR OF WW1 AEF US ARMY CAVALRY M1917 MOUNTED PATTERN CANVAS LEGGINGS WITH LEATHER LEG PROTECTORS. THEY ARE A SIZE 2 AND ARE COMPLETE WITH THEIR ORIGINAL LACES. THEY ARE DATED MARCH 1918. THEIR GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR IS ROSSENWASSER BROS. IN 1917 THE ARMY ADOPTED LEATHER FACED CANVAS LEGGINGS FOR MOUNTED SOLDIERS TO REPLACE THE LEATHER PUTTEES THAT HAD BEEN ISSUED SINCE 1908. ON THIS LATTER STYLE CAVALRY LEGGING THE INNER SIDES OF THE LEGGING ARE LEATHER AND THAT SIDE IS WHAT RESTS AGAINST THE HORSE. THIS LEATHER PANEL PROTECTED THE LEGS OF THE CAVALRYMAN FROM SWEAT AND HORSEHAIR AND PROVIDED A MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE RIDE THAN THE EARLIER 1908 VERSION. BOTH LEGGINGS HAVE THE MAKER AND ARMY INSPECTOR MARKINGS STAMPED IN THE INTERIOR.. THEY ARE 131/2" TALL AND COME EQUIPPED WITH 6 "DREADNOUGHT" LACING STUDS. THE SOLE RETENTION STRAP IS MADE OF A DARK CHOCOLATE BROWN CANVAS AND IS SECURED WITH A BLACK BUCKLE. THESE LEGGINGS SHOW NORMAL AGE AND WEAR. THE STITCHING IS SOUND AND THE LACES ARE INTACT. THERE ARE NO RIPS OR TEARS IN THE CANVAS OR LEATHER. THE LEATHER IS STILL SOFT AND SUPPLE AND SHOWS GOOD COLOR WITH NO SIGNS OF DRY ROT. AFTER BEING STOWED AWAY FOR OVER 100 YEARS THEY HAVE ACCUMULATED SOME DISCOLORATION AS WELL AS DIRT/STORAGE MARKS TO THE CANVAS. THE METAL EYELETS AND STUDS ARE SOUND BUT DO SHOW SIGNS OF CORROSION/OXIDATION TO THE HARDWARE. WEIGHT APPROX. 16 oz. ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE E-MAIL ME BEFORE YOU PURCHASE.
