They are in Stone's, spurs

So they should be okay here. Found these at a car boot sale today. There is an illustration of a pair from Chile in Stone's with more or less the same parts at the ends for the leather straps. So I assume these to are from Chile or other parts of south America. I know very little, I once sat on a horse for about 2mins. The spike wheels are 14cm in diameter. In the days of flamboyant military costume an officer born to the position might have worn them in battle. They must have cost a lot of money. Steel, brass and white metal. Hard to clean, any more info?

Look like Argentina Gaucho spurs to me. Here is a picture I found on the internet.
