Post your best spur

[hammered]

This is one I found earlier this year, just after finding the Bronze age axe. I didn't put this on Tnet for 2 reasons, 1. I had just got banner with the axe and I didn't want to be greedy, and 2. my farmer was worried about hawks coming in and damaging his crops. So here is my best spur







It has been confirmed as 14th century

That is an awesome piece Westfront!!!

True, it should have been on the banner, but never got its justice

I fully agree!!!

This is the only one i have. I found it earlier this year in a wooded area, in the fields i had fragments only. Now identified around 1300-1350. Best of all is that i have the buckle too. It was 1 metre from the spur.

That is a really nice Prick Spur mate . According to my books on medieval armour and the UKDFD it might be earlier than you think, maybe 11th to 12th century. Try this link http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/showrecords.php?product=18677&cat=210

Hi Hammered

My first guess was 12th century too. The one in the ukdfd is a near perfect match, but my one has bend arms. That was dated to a later period...
I am just happy with that spur in this condition. To find a complete one together with the buckle is amazing.
But Your iron one complete is the better deal.....

Thanks mate , I am going back to that field in Feb, I hope to find some more good stuff . But the spurs you and kuger have posted are equally as good , thanks for your input. I really like the Georgian/American civil war spurs too

I fully agree!!!

You have some nice spurs there! I dont want to be a horse that time! And i thought a prick spur is a bad thing....
And the banner? You know that the standard for european hunters is quite high! I'm just happy with a rare find!

I cant choose!!

 

[Westfront]

I cant choose!!

Wow! Cant imagine to dig so many... Like the design of the the first one. Clean like a pure working equipment. How old are these?

 

[kuger]

Thanks Westfront....I didnt dig the first and last,but they date to the late 1700's...our Spanish era.One with the smaller rowel was found near a 1872 massacre

 

[hammered]

I can't choose either, they're all beauts kuger, really . I normally get just bits, found one whole one that was good. But those Spanish ones are awesome, I hope to go to the Horse festival in Seville next year, maybe I'll see some repro's

Oh! Youre looking for a reason to meet "H".....

 

[Relichunter1]

Nice spurs fellas....can't wait to dig one of those up.

 

[rovnrbl53]

Can't keep up with the old European or Western Spanish spurs but

this is my best. Spurs, for me, are pretty difficult to find. I have 3 complete US and 1 complete CS....here tis Richmond Spur found in Northern Va summer of 2009.

Haven't found much in the way of spurs, but here's one I dug in a colonial trash pit at a site dating from 1650-1750.

Here's a style you don't see often:

 

[Cool Hand Fluke]

Hope you guys don't laugh to hard. This is the closest thing to a spur I've found! It was found in a kids sand box at a school...

 

[Old River]

The only Spur I've found in this condition. The rest were just pieces. This is a North, and Judd Pat. 1879. It's called the Cowboy Spur.
