2 Original Antique Civil War Confederate Cavalry Officer Brass Spurs West OAKES
This listing is for 2 individual/single Spurs. They are NOT a matching pair. OAKES Style Spur but Unmarked.
Confederate Officer Spike Spur(3.5" Long by 2.75" Wide). The ONE Spur is literally on the front cover of the Bob Baird Civil War Spur Book! Spur circled in blue isn't identical but very similar in style. Both made of solid brass.Picture of the one buckle & broken leather strap is just one piece but multiple angles in one picture. Both have NICE patina & age appropriate wear that you want to see. Comes from the Marvin Schelhouse Collection.
