Original Cavalry Spurs - one pair still left
PRICE REDUCED AGAIN
I have two pair of US military cavalry spurs:
1. Marked US - AB. (August Buermann) - August Buermann was born in Sattenhausen, Germany Aug. 04, 1842. He apprenticed as a locksmith in Germany and he arrived in New York Aug. 1864. A few weeks later he went into the Army as a substitute for someone who came into the locksmithing company where he was working, looking for a volunteer. August Buermann Mfg. Co. began making spurs for both the civilian and military markets. Buermann contract spurs were marked US over AB on the inside yoke base, opposite the shank. Intact and wearable with buckles and original leather straps. $250 including shipping (US).
2. Marked US - WL. (Whithorse Lecompte) - Another government contractor who made quite a few bits and spurs for the government. Not nearly as many as Buermann, though. Intact and wearable with buckles, no leather. SOLD
Thanks for looking!
