California Style Spurs Attributed To Hernandez Brothers

Available here for your consideration are California style spurs attributed to the Hernandez Brothers. These spurs feature silver engraved inlays on one side, while the other side showcases chased designs in the steel. They also have original heel chains, chap guard, and drop shanks. The ten point handmade rowel and beautifully stamped leather straps with raised concho style buttons finish off these spurs nicely. 
The Hernandez Brothers work was rarely marked as they made items under contract for the various retailers, but many agree that the, one, two, or three punch marks on an item often indicates a Hernandez brother made it. The history of bits and spurs in North America begins with the Spanish who first came to the new world in the 1500s, bringing horses and livestock with them. The Spanish colonial style is the predecessor of the Californian and Mexican styles we know today. These spurs are fine examples of that heritage. Get them today!
