These are spurs, a tool used for horseback riding.
Spurs are worn by riders on the heels of their boots and are used to signal the horse's sides.
They consist of a U-shaped metal part that clamps onto the heel, a brown leather strap to secure it, and a rotating rowel (gear-like wheel) at the tip.
◯ There is no particularly noticeable damage, but please understand that there may be minor scratches and dirt as this is a used item.
◯ As these were part of my grandfather's collection, I am not very knowledgeable about them, so please refer to the images.
◯ Immediate purchase is welcome.
Thank you.
