For sale in this lot is a pair of August Buermann forged steel dressage spurs. The spurs have an impressive tooled leather half mount strap, with ornate hand tooling decorations.

August Buermann was born in Germany in 1842 but later travelled to the US after taking his apprenticeship in lock smithing. After joining the army as a substitute at the age of 22 he began making spurs for the civilian and military. The spurs are in good condition for the age.
