Winterboots opinions please

[MG-Freak]

He guys,

I can buy this pair of winterboots for a good price. But I know that they also made these after the war. Can somebody tell me if the boots on the picture below are second world war or made after the war.
The nails in the sole are made from wood that's a thing I know.

Thnx in advance.

Let them be, unless you are intersted in DRB, Deutsche Reichsbahn.
These boots are not Wehrmacht-issue examples, but instead were distributed to Reichsbahn - Railroad - personell. The construction, felt and brass stud in the shaft are dead-giveaways.

Sincerely,
Vincent S.

Asked the same question myself once, got the same response. Here's a view of my pair:

Note the brass studs have been removed at some point.

Yes, because there is impressed "DB" (Deutsche Bundesbahn) - postwar westgerman railway

Some try to explain the holes with bullets....
