With all due respect to my friend Abel, he does not know the Mexican spurs. Atlantia has already demonstrated with examples that this kind of spurs also come from Mexico. Just see the photos. In any case, this style, as established, come also from Mexico. But neverthless, everybody can be mistaken in this specific case, and only a close examination or study can bring definite results, as this subject is not a matter of faith. Maybe a test on the silver can determinate the Mexican or South American origin. I also would like to know a definitive scientific ID, different from the opinions, mine included.
Regards
