Spurs
« on: September 10, 2014, 07:20:14 PM »
I have looking to get some spurs that A. look as if they were from the 1870s or 80s B. Do not cost an arm and a leg, and C. Are actually usable on a horse. Any advice where to look.

Got a set of spurs from Tractor Supply Co., the price was about $25.  Don't know if they are horse friendly, or have a true 1880's look.
I really wanted a pair of Lindholm Brothers ( sorry if I misspelled their name) but they went out of business due to health reasons.  I have also looked at sites that sell antique spurs, but the prices would mean one less gun purchase.
If you find a good place to buy some good looking spurs, let me know.

I picked up a set off of the SASS wire a few months ago.  They show up there every few weeks, keep an eye out for them.

Not sure what an arm and a leg go for these days but Jeremiah Watt has some very nice Old Time Spurs - I've had abunch of these in hand over the years and they hold up very well if you're riding a lot and look good as well.....

Not sure about an arm and a leg either, maybe those are just worth an arm (if you gave a leg for them how would you wear the spurs?  :D ) - but man, those really look nice!  I'm bookmarking that page, thanks.

Is there a source for reproduction classic Mexican spurs?
