ARMY PARATROOPER BOOT LIGHTER

This lighter came with a small group of Airborne material so I presume it is for the Airborne Boot. This is most likely a item made in Germany after the war for the GI's. Its 1 7/8" high and 1 3/4" wide. Its made from a solid piece of Aluminum with the top that opens with the wick and the wheel for the flint is on the side. The top and bottom of the boot are grooved on the top and scored like a sole on the bottom. The stitching is shown nicely with a line for the sole and heel. Just a neat lighter the first I have seen like this. Condition very good++
