Show us your stirrups

[stelio]

Kubur Thank you very much for your good words my friend.

Like Greek, I could name the two pairs that I will upload to photos. My opinion is that they were used by the Greek horsemen in the middle of the 19th century until the end of the century and the design is one of the oldest stirrups they used during the Ottoman Empire. The two pairs have a rotating head that gives riders freedom to use them to drive the spurs. The spurs in both pairs are embedded in the sides, this is what we see in the Balkans in the regions that were in the Ottoman Empire.
When they say about the Ottoman stirrups we have in mind the Arabic type that was widespread from the Balkans to Spain but in such a great empire there were other types
