Great collection.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks weapons.
I never mind being wrong as long as I can learn from the matter in discussion and corrected data. Since this is a most esoteric topic it is a welcome addition to our threads here.
The main thing is that we all learn when information is shared.

Well Jim, in a way, stirrups for Rural Ranch Cowboys, only in the French version: Gardiens de taureaux de la Camargue

These Stirrups are different from the model shown

I will attach a picture in the day

[fernando]

I was not referring to a specific model/s, but to the general typology !

[Jim McDougall]

Nicely said Fernando! Your patience is amazing, and it is indeed helpful to remember that in discussions examples and analogies are often included which pertain to a type or form associated, and not necessarily 'exact' in comparison to those being shown. This convention perhaps escapes the perspective of some. This sometimes comes into play with items which have certain differences, and these are often termed 'variants'.

regarding the origin of this stirrup, there is much to say. The majority comes from Europe, Poursin in Paris, which still displays in its showcase or the Belgian manufacturer Hersall, especially gun manufacturer. These manufacturers have sold in all of South America and even elsewhere: I saw at the Museum of the army in Athens or indicated by Greek general!Basically, they were used by elders who could pay them.See exhibit attached, extracted from Plateria Sudamericana, A Taullard, 1941.

Kind regards.

Very nice genuine example supported by a notable background.
The problem with these things is that you find out there modern reproductions so 'well aged' that they fool anyone's eye.

Hi 'Nando,

I wouldn't expect a whole lot of effort would be put into aging repro examples of these - at least to the degree where they would fool someone with exposure to legitimately old bronze items - as they simply don't command all that much in the collector market to begin with...

Cheers,

Chris
