Confederate Cavalry Spurs Civil War

See photos of all different angles. These spurs are just shy of 4 inches not including the rowel. The rowels are 12-point and about 0.75 inches wide.

In comparing these spurs to the photos and descriptions in Howard Crouch's book, "Historic American Spurs", these spurs appear similar to the CS-18 on page 60 and the photo of Confederate spurs recovered in a civil war era trash pit near Shelbyville, Tennessee shown on page 66 (see photos included). These spurs are in good condition with functioning rowels--however they have been cleaned with original patina showing up in recessed areas. My identification is based on the condition and apparent age of the spurs as well as comparison to photos in Crouch's book.
