J002559 (IJN) EM/NCO'S PUTTEES.
Two, approximately 90" x 3 1/2", dark blue wool "puttees," known to their original wearers as "Makikyahan." Each have one rounded end, the other pointed, from the latter proceeding approximately 51 1/2" x 3/4" grey colored tie tapes. White diamond shaped tag can be seen sewn to one. The puttees would have been spirally wrapped around the wearer’s legs, with these tapes then crossed over the shin of the wearer before being tied off. Besides the fact the Navy examples are very difficult to find this set it still totally untouched, they have never been unwrapped since they day they where made. Very nice find!
