My spurs are so close to the originals I had to make them without any markings so they would not be mistaken for real ones. Spurs come with russet leather straps that are longer than original straps so they will actually fit.
Blog: Historical info available for educational purposes.What period are these spurs reproductions of?
These are reproductions of spurs issued to mounted soldiers from 1911 until the end of the horse cavalry in 1943. They are designed to be very close to original M1911 spurs. The design is suitable for reenacting with a Civil War period horse.
Are these spurs marked like original M1911 spurs?
The spurs are made without any markings to prevent them from being mistaken for original items. Some original M1911 spurs also do not have US markings on them. The spurs are very close to original M1911 spurs in appearance and construction.
What material are the spurs made from?
The spurs are made from brass. This brass may not be the white brass used in some original spurs. The brass can arrive with verdigris or heavy corrosion, which can be cleaned off.
How do the spurs fit on boots?
The spurs can be a bit narrow for some heels, causing them to ride up higher than is usual. They can be bent to achieve a better fit. The spurs fit some M1931 riding boots very well.
What is included with the spurs?
The spurs come as a pair and include russet leather straps. Some orders have shipped with two sets of straps. The straps are longer than original straps to improve fit.
Can the spurs be adjusted for fit?
The metal spurs can be bent by hand to achieve a better fit. If the straps are too short, additional holes can be punched in them. The spurs can be shaped using a standard anvil.
