Civil War Cavalry Spur

[Poptopagain]

Solid brass Civil War Cavalry Spur found in Maryland. Found near the Battle of South Mountain. The spur was about 7.5 inches down with a Whites XLT E series. That's the first Civil War relic I've found. It has the word ALLEGHENY 1 imprinted on it.

Awesome find. Allegheny should represent the Allegheny arsonal from Pittsburgh. I believe that's the model 1859? Great first relic. Keep it swinging.

Nice find,

I've hunted around the aersonal before. Found some 3 ringers .69 cal. Guys over the yrs have found handfuls of bullets at this site. It is now a old park. I used to go to school right across the st from it.

There was a major explosion there back in the day that killed alot of people. Women and children were killed. I think a spark from the horses foot kicked up and ignited gun powder. I forget the whole story. Very interesting though.

The explosion there in 1862 was the largest civilian disaster during the Civil War. Here is a story on it:
