Pair of Officer's Spurs

American or British

Not on view

This type of prick spur, here proudly inscribed "Never Rust" on each of them, was commonly used in Britain and the United States in the first quarter of the 20th century, and by the cavalry during World War I. However, the absence on this pair of any "US" or "ENGLAND" stamp indicates that it was not part of a regulation cavalry package and may not have been used in a military context.
