As described in The American Military Spur by Dorsey on pages 61-64, the Pattern 1885 Enlisted Spur was introduced with the other new cavalry equipment in Ordnance Memoranda No. 29.

This heavy, matched pair shows some use, but have survived in very good condition with a mostly bright finish.  These appear to be a heavier than usual pair but have the usual gutter running along the inside around the back. The spurs are full form with no bends and the rowels are intact.  Unmarked.

The original spur straps have iron buckles and tooled edges. Both straps show use, but are still supple with no weak points.

This is a very nice matched pair of Model 1885 enlisted man’s spurs which would be a nice addition to your Indian War cavalry collection.  [jet][PH:L]
