A nice set of personalized Indian War cavalry spurs. These spurs were clearly used together. Both have had the pointed steel/iron rowel replaced with a brass disk with smooth edge, likely so as not to gouge the horse’s flanks and also to look a little fancier. Both are brass, military issue spurs but differ slightly in the shape of the tip of the neck, and one has the small nubs on the center bar of the spur strap slots that show up on the 1885 pattern spur while the other does not. Chances are pretty good the trooper kept his originally issued spurs for full dress or wear where he might be under observation by officers and obtained up these two to alter for non-regulation undress or “walking out” while on leave or a pass to impress the local girls, or perhaps even to cut a more dashing figure on campaign.
