Rowel Spur (Right)

French or German

Not on view

The neck of this rowel spur is featured with a joint and a spring allowing it to fold up when its owner is not riding. When up, the rowel is framed by two rounded extensions, preventing it from scratching things (or people) when the wearer is walking.
