Bow Creek Pete, SASS #56204 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 FOR SALE: Original era manufacture. Matched pair, right and left, marked US AB on the inside. Last pattern spur for the US Cavalry. Manufacturer August Buermann – August Buermann was born in Sattenhausen, Germany Aug. 04, 1842. He apprenticed as a locksmith in Germany and he arrived in New York Aug. 1864. A few weeks later he went into the Army as a substitute for someone who came into the locksmithing company where he was working, looking for a volunteer. August Buermann Mfg. Co. began making spurs for both the civilian and military markets. Most all of the civilian Buermann spurs after about 1912 were stamped with a star in the government contract versions. Buermann contract spurs were marked US over AB on the inside yoke base, opposite the shank. This pair in excellent condition with no metal damage. Leather intact, supple, and usable but time for a leather treatment. I will leave that up to the new owner. I WOULD LIKE $100 OR BEST OFFER SHIPPED FOR THE PAIR http://hawksjk.hosted.nex-tech.com/SPURS1.jpg http://hawksjk.hosted.nex-tech.com/SPURS2.jpg http://hawksjk.hosted.nex-tech.com/SPURS3.jpg http://hawksjk.hosted.nex-tech.com/SPURS4.jpg Bow Creek Pete SASS # 56204 hawksjk@ruraltel.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
