PC3465 Post Civil War Military Style Spur This small to medium size non-excavated military style brass spur is in excellent condition and has a nicely aged bronze patina. Its rowel is present but does not move. According to Howard Crouch, author of "Historic American Spurs", these spurs first appear pictured in the "Ordnance Memoranda No. 29" of 1885. A similar example can be found in Crouch's book on page 69, item MS3. On the example offered there appears to be the number "11" stamped on the inside of one of the arms near the strap plate, which, according to Crouch, may be an issue number of some type. This is an very nice example and will make an excellent addition to any 1800's spur collection. Approximate width is 2 7/8 inches and length is 4 3/8 inches. $55.00 Order Information or Questions? |

PC3476 Patent Box Spurs with Boxes This non-excavated pair of patent box spurs are in excellent condition. What sets this pair apart from other available examples is the fact that the boxes are present. According to Howard R. Crouch's book "Historic American Spurs", the box was actually mounted into a cavity in the rear of the boot. Inside the box was a spring loaded latch that the spur would slide and lock into. This would eliminate the need for the leather straps and buckles. These spurs date to the Civil War and afterwards. An illustration of these spurs can be found in the 1864 Schuyler, Hartley and Graham catalog. The spur itself measures 2 1/4 (width at its widest point) x 3 3/8 inches in length. SOLD |
