This is a non excavated Confederate spur used during the Civil War. This style of spurs have not been identified by a particular maker, but are associated with Leech and Rigdon. This cast brass spur has a rounded body and a squared off arched neck. The arms of this spur have a smooth transition into the strap plates. The strap plates have slightly beveled openings for the straps. The 7/8", 17 point iron rowel is still on the neck and rotates freely. The book "Confederate, US and other Civil War Used Spurs" by Bob Baird shows a good example of this type spur, shown as a CS-4 variant, on pages 36 and 37. This spur is in magnificent condition with a beautiful chocolate brown patina. The body of the spur is straight, no twists or bends. The neck is straight and still retains the iron pin and rowel. The rough finish work clearly shows the file marks. The only way it could be better would be if it had the original leather strap! If you have a spur collection, this one belongs in it!
