    Need help, possible early EG jack boots?

    OK all you boot aficionados, hope you can help me out? I bought this pair of jack boots a while ago and have always wondered what they are. As you see they have the plain leather sole and also they look like they are made of pigskin or something similar. They don't look Russian to me, but you never know. Just seeing what the experts say.

    To my mind, they are East German and not Russian. Those boot pulls made out of leather at the top of the shaft are normally associated with either Feuerwehr or work boots. They must be earlier ones because of the leather sole. However, it should be borne in mind that these boots followed traditional patterns that are probably much older than the DDR.
