You should check with your warehouse. The spurs arrived with heavy corrosion. I was able to clean them up, but the leather was stained also.
Otherwise, these are very good. I appreciated having two sets of straps.

Good copy compared to real M1911 spurs
(2014-09-22)
These are a good copy of US M1911 style spurs. I have an original set my grandfather purchased in the 1930s along with other various horse tack at auction, as the US Army eliminated Horse Cavalry and remounted those units into Mechanized forces. The original spurs I have do not have US markings on them, nor do the M1911 spurs on display at the US Cavalry Museum at FT Riley, KS. Also my original spurs had the buckle attached via a very short chain length, while the spurs at FT Riley are attached with a short leather tab. As with contracted supplies now and then, there are slight variations in the originals. These WPG Spurs make a fine addition to any early 20th Cen US Horse Cav impression.

good buy

You'll need a bit of elbow grease and Flitz to remove the verdigris from the brass, and acetone to remove the coating from the leather, but they look gorgeous when the brass is shined. Just make note of the direction that the spurs point before you disassemble everything for the preparatory cleaning.
Otherwise, these are very good. I appreciated having two sets of straps.
