I heartily agree, Rick! Thanks for the lesson on Victorian "social history!"

No, zippers were NOT invented until the 1920s....and there was, to the best of my knowledge, no pocket in a boot! I'm sure he owned those boots BEFORE he ever thought of assassination - so why would he want a pocket in his boots...no I think you are 100 percent Rick!
