Buermann Spurs
Antique Buermann Cowboy Spurs are one of the most famous and sought after designs from one of the most famous makers in Cowboy Spur history.August Buermann was born in Germany in 1842 but later travelled to the US after taking his apprenticeship in lock smithing.
After joining the army as a substitute at the age of 22 he began making spurs for the civilian and military. Buermann fashioned the now infamous StarBrand that adorn his designs and creations.
This style of spur is usually stamped with the StarBrand behind the strap lug.
