Jerry Lee at What Price Glory is contemplatin' makin' a short run of the Mle 50 para boot. I expect any encouragement of the desire for them would help the cause.
In addition to the website WPG also sells on ebay if someone wants to let him know that there is a market...

I would be in like Flynn.
Where'd ya hear this tidbit?
ETA: It's good to see WPG turning their eye toward Indo stuff, previously with 47/52 (or was it 51?) sets, now Mle. 47 EO jackets and trousers, and, potentially, with Mle. 50 boots. The items I have from them are first rate except for the older Denison Smock which lacks only in a few details. I'd still love to have a Mle. 47 TAP camo jacket with the huge chest pockets. [If, on the way off chance they made a 47/54 set, I'd be in hog heaven, but normal respiration will continue.]

From the man himself on one of the facebook Indo/Algerie pages. He's lookin' for some good pictures, or a pair to use to give his manufacturer detailed instructions.
He's also talkin' about O.D. (Khaki) Mle 47 TAP Jackets/trousers.

I am giddy with excitement on all counts. Is this one of the private groups?

I'll need to check which one it was. If it was a public one I'll post the link here.

Vielen Dank. I do have some higher resolution pictures of the 50 and 50/53 boot. They're the same except for the lug pattern.

Unfortunately it is a closed group. But you can contact Jerry Lee through the ebay WPG store.

Rumor confirmed: Jerry is going to work with Dehner Boots to get these made. I looked over their wares. While not my preferences in style- riding boots and such- the quality looks first rate. I'll be sending him some pictures later and offering what insight I can.
He is also going to continue moving into Indo/Algérie territory since the response to the TAP EO uniforms was so positive.

Word from Jerry: they're already getting a move on them and starting the process.
