Unique spurs

02-27-2010, 09:28 AM

Gentlemen,
I don't think I have ever seen a set of spurs like these which leads me to believe that they are not [I]period[I]. But the description of them says that they were patented 1861. Perhaps they are fashioned for ladies with the chain mail looking addition. Has anyone seen spurs like these?

Re: Unique spurs

Jeff, the attached are silver spurs, English Regency Period in date (1812 by the Hallmark) and are quite a common spur for that period, although not in silver!

The attachment method is different from those you have shown, but not by much!
