Available here is a substantial pair of fancy California style spurs. These single mounted spurs display nice iron work with 10 - point rowels on turned down shanks with chap guards.

Original heel chains included. Do not let these nice spurs go anywhere but to your collection!
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 and these are good examples of that influence.
