fabulous heavy 1&#8243; heel band spurs have the optional silver shanks which listed in Joe Bianchi&#8217;s Catalog G at an additional $1 cost. \u00a0This style was offered in 4 weights, I think this

\u00a0These spurs are in unbelievable unworn condition, with the eagles clearly visible unworn on all 20 coins, unlike most. \u00a0It is my opinion, based on my research, that later Bianchi domed these coin mountings and buffed off the Mexican eagle. \u00a0The early &#8220;J. BIANCHI, VICTORIA, TEX.&#8221; inside heel band marking verifies this. \u00a0Rowels are 12 pt. as shown in my book on page 95; guaranteed 100% original with no damage, replaced mountings, nothing, and this is rare, lemme tell you. \u00a0I probably have handled more Bianchi spurs than anyone, spent 11 years researching book and am still learning, but this is the best of the best. \u00a0These unbelievable spurs have a fascinating provenance which i will disclose to the buyer. \u00a0They were found on the original old rotten boots and still sport their original leathers! \u00a0The Holy Grail of south Texas spurs, POR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Show slideshow] Bianchi Style 3 &#8211; the famous 20 coin style! \u00a0The &#8220;Holy Grail&#8221; of south Texas spurs, these fabulous heavy 1&#8243; heel band spurs have the optional silver shanks which listed in Joe Bianchi&#8217;s Catalog G at an additional $1 cost. \u00a0This style was offered in 4 weights, I think this is the next-to-heaviest, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":913,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.kurthouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Bianchi-Style-3-211.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2Q6rY-5p","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kurthouse.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kurthouse.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kurthouse.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kurthouse.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kurthouse.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=335"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.kurthouse.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8926,"href":"https:\/\/www.kurthouse.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335\/revisions\/8926"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kurthouse.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kurthouse.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=335"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kurthouse.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=335"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kurthouse.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=335"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
