These are just plain bad-a%$. I saw these Justin style 9038 advertised in a 1974 advertisement, so they could date to that era. Mens size 9D. Plenty of wear and character on these, as shown in the pictures. I removed one of the boot tips to see what's underneath, and there is some green tarnish on the skin. I would leave the tips in place for this reason. If not to wear, then a cool western display piece!
