One pair La Sportiva K3 mountaineering boots - still available.
Used for a few short walks before conceding 43.5 was just a little too small for me as my toes hit the ends going downhill.
Beautifully made, one-piece leather, with fixings for crampons (front bail style - someone else pointed out) and a solid metal shank (steel from memory), thinsulate insulation layer.
In excellent condition. $75 ono.
Can try on in Kew.

They are La Sportiva K3, and were around in the late 90's.. Will suit front bail style crampons.
Slightly heavy for a leather boot, due to the full Thinsulate insulation layer. I found them to be warm to wear during single day winter alpine climbs in the Canadian rockies.
The leather did wet-out in damp conditions, so may benefit from some form of treatment.
