Sure thing...

Living here in the Southwest, it's not that unusual to encounter spurs at auctions, estate sales, etc... there are particular stylistic cues associated with "Texas spurs," "California spurs," and "Mexican spurs." Similarly, I think the giant 437-spoked rowels almost always point towards a South American origin. Nice example, BTW... and even single spurs display quite nicely when placed with knives or swords from their respective place of origin.

Got Gaucho?
