Antique Chilean Huaso Spur
Wonderful find this single 19th century Huaso Spur made from forged steel and decorated in inlayed silver. The spur has a magnificent 4 ½” round rowel with 42 long spikes, the overall length of the spur is 9” long. Just a stunning piece of history.
This is an original 1800s spur not a remake from the 2000s, when found it still had dirt imbedded in the decorative silver from actually being used.
