Hi Keith,

The boot arrived today. Many thanks for your efforts to get them reproduced.
It is a fantastic reproduction. If I didn't know better I would say you found the original WW2 dies. It is a credit to the diemaker.

Here's a close up photo so others can see what I am talking about.

I think the white powder is just the mould release agent, talcum? and wipes off easily.

Cheers,

Jacques
