silver plated brass spur (circa 1775) which has the figure 8 loops with one set of link belts still attached for attachment to the leather straps passing around the boots instep. I hunted hard and unfortunately could not find the other set of link belts. I've seen a few of these spurs before but never have I seen one with the actual link belts still attached. This was found close to where we won our independence from England. I couldn't be happier to have found this!!! UPDATE: Upon closer inspection (and thanks to a few sharp posters) this spur is SOLID SILVER!!!! The belt links are brass which is why I originally thought this was silver plated. I can't believe this!!!!! HH Devonrex
