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's a very cool spur hammered, Sorry I can't play this round but wanted to say that's a neat find man.

Thanks Pete, I really like the 18th century spurs too, I've only found bits of those though. In truth I'm hoping for some civil war spurs showing up on this post

Well this will be a club of 1 I have lots of pieces, & rowels but none I could even glue together apart from a rowel which is miles away from a near full spur

 

[cntrydncr1]

wow that is an incredible spur!!

 

[lost crow]

Amazing spur Hammered, I don't have a whole one, but I will play with what I have. I found these years ago at a civil war site. The second pic I am not sure if it is a piece of a spur or not. It has the right curve.

Maybe you can help me figure this one out hammered,to me I've always thought it looked like a spur(size,shape)but have never been able to find one like it.My biggest question first would be did they make them with a detachable rowel. As you can see something surely mounted at that point.It was found on the spoon mold,Rev.War button site.
Thanks,
Pete,

Here is my one and only - and l am not even sure if it is indeed a broken Spur or not. l found it in a Pasture field last week! Yours is absolutely fantastic. John

Hi John and thanks, the field where I found the spur and the axe is only available for a couple of weeks a year, so I'm hoping for something good next Feb . Your spur looks like it's Georgian to me, like you, I only found fragments and the occasional rowel up until this find. It didn't even sound like iron, a very sweet signal, but then again I'm still learning the Xp

Its not an exact match as yours has a larger arch, but I have seen them like that & that size

 

[kuger]

...I dont have any with that kind of age but I will have to play later.....I have a few!!

 

[Westfront]

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

That is an awesome piece Westfront!!!

 

[birdman]

Westfront,killer spur!!! Hey sorry I could not meet up with ya a couple of weeks ago. I was only on the ground for two hours. A couple of hours hunting Germany again would have been awesone. I hope to be back at Ramstein in 1-2 years.

First one is a buddies he dug,and the second is one of three I have dug.All Spanish Californio

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

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.....
