Up for bid is a pair of absolutely exquesite, unbelieveable, beautiful, spurs, you can tell I really like these spurs. Each spurs has 169 seperate inlays, not overlays, but inlaid pieces of sterling silver. Try that sometime & see what you would value them. Each spur has 2 inlaid spur strap buttons & 2 overlaid buttons. Each spur also has 12 sterling silver buttons, not including the chap guard or rowel pin buttons & the larger ones on the 1" heel bands, measure a whopping 3/4" each. The spurs measure, front to back 8 1/2" with a 3" opening. The 14 point rowels measure 3" overall & have a feather like design. They also have the initials "J.F." stamped into the heel band. These were NOT made by Jack Ferguson, they are more in the Schnitger style of spur. One spur is missing one heel band inlay, approx. 1/8" long x 1/16" wide. These are absolutely incredible spurs. They are in excellent condition, the straps are junk, but came with the spurs.These spurs have little wear & have been hanging in my collection for many years. My guess they are from the 1950's. Check out the rest of my cowboy auction s for Canon City prison made spurs, Visalia & Hamley leather. If you want more pictures, just ask. Please ask questions before bidding as this is a no return auction, check out my 100% feedbacks. I only charge actual shipping, plus .65 cents for delivery confirmation and $1.00 to help pay for my shipping supplies. Thanks for looking.

I forgot to mention, each heel band, top & bottom edge is inlaid. They are double mounted heel bands, meaning each side is inlaid & matches the other side exactly. Double the work, double the silver, double the pleasure!! You will see lots of spurs for sale on ebay, but none the size & the work that has gone into making these. They were probably worn so little because they are so big & heavy compared to the others spurs of the same era.

I added a picture of 3 SINGLE SPURS.....2 OF THESE ARE FOR COMPARISON ONLY, TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA HOW BIG THE CENTER SPUR, UP FOR AUCTION IS. THIS AUCTION IS FOR THE PAIR OF MATCHING SPURS ONLY.
