Nice story Bama.
Check out these old Nocona's. I've never seen this pattern in person.
I've seen that type of collar before but I've never seen that crowned eagle or whatever it is. I have no other info to know if these were a one-off custom boot order or production boots. They are supposed to be 1940's.Wow! Nocona used to do some decent inlay work and stitching but I've never seen anything like that.

Un-dyed lizard with natural markings sounds interesting. I know there are ringtail lizards & all of that but I can't identity them from one another.Killer boots Jack!
I've laid eyes on the black and white version, or rather black and natural. The wingtips and inlays were un-dyed lizard, and the natural markings were visible. I have a pair of black and red ones I bought back in the early 90s, but the trim is smooth cowhide. The Crown-Vic model as opposed to thr Lincoln, I suppose. Can't wear them any more - they were always a slim fitting boot with a narrower shafts than anything else I've ever owned. A half size of foot gained and a broken ankle about 10 years ago made them impossible to get on. I wore the crap out of them back then, though. They've been resoled several times. I've hung onto them for sentimental reasons more than anything else. Maybe one of my sons will want to wear them some day.

Now that I have seen your picture I have seen it done before too. I guess it was the white window collar behind the piping that was throwing me off.I've seen the window trim done that way but few do it.
