boots during his time as a Texas Ranger and a clip on tie.
CONDITION: Very fine showing the western charm one would expect from use by Texas Ranger icon Captain Jack Dean.
The majority of the wear is on the bottom of the soles with the leather showing a rich black coloration and typical
creasing. This pair of boots would make an excellent addition to any Texas Ranger collection!
