John Ray Davis Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I'm looking for a pair of plain style spurs. I'd prefer something of a style worn in the 1880's to go with a simple boot. Does anybody have a source? And, yes, cost is a factor. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Charlie, SASS # 48668L Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Sure!

Brother King, SASS #69031 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 It's easy to find a 'style' worn at that time and Lindholm makes nice spurs. If you want an authentic spur from that period then hit up Ricochet Roy. He really knows them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knarley Bob Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I asked a buddy at work who was into horses if'n he had an old pair he would part with for cheap. Heck he GAVE me a pair. They was old and decrepid. I steel wooled them, re-stiched the leather do-hickeys, gave them a little "Neat-Lac" from Tandy leather, and now, I got me a pair of right nice spurs! Just a thought........... Knarley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howdy Doody Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Lindholm Bros do a first class job for sure. I love their website and the section that says shop. They take you all the way through the process of making spurs from start to finish. I don't know how they can sell them as low priced as they do. Yes, I have a pair special made for me by the boys, but seeing what they are and how good looking and good sounding (jinglebob) is what sold me and that is why I bought a pair. Did I mention they are two of the best cowpokes we could have in cowboy action shooting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Haller Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Hi, Lindholm Brothers makes some period correct spurs for the pre-1900 era, and also post-1900 era. You might want to look online to see if you can get a look at what spurs actually looked like in the 1880s. (They changed over the years, just like the rest of a cowboy's outfit.) Check Vogt and JM Capriola's web sites for examples of pre-1900 spurs. Some of these are probably way out of your price range, but give you an idea of what spurs tended to look like in the Southwest and California. The thinner heel band and drop shank models (without swinging buttons) with silver adornment were popular pre-1900. (Texas style spurs don't seem to really develop a style of their own till post-1900.) http://capriolas.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=39&CGPsid=82pgl3vbgdqbatmvn13dv8hb53 http://lesvogtscalclassics.com/SpurGallery.html (Click on the classic styles.) http://www.lesvogt.com/bits_tack/category/17/Performax-Spurs (Style 1222 and 1215 are Vogt's economy version of their higher end spurs and good examples of a Californio style that could be pre-1900.) Drop me a line if you have any further questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curley Cole, SASS #56849 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 My Spurs yup someday I intend to get me a pair of them Lindholms. Only problem is when I go on their webpage, I can't decide which to get. so, In the meantime I keep wearin my Colorado Saddlery and they were a lot cheaper. look em up and see what ya think. (mine are the ones with the button saying Colorado Saddlery-Denver with a rope edge...with jinglebobs of course. only cost me about $39 (prob. about $50 now.) The CS ones are in front in the pix above curley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Ray Davis Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Gentlemen, thank you. When a name like Lindholm comes up a bunch, that's a good recommendation. But it's too hot to go outside, so I will check the other sources. Many thanks! And good shooting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
