Heel band measures 4.25" x 3". Silver alloy construction with intricate woven silver heel chains. Skillfully sculpted and chiseled hanging studs and terminals. Rowel boxes in the form of rooster heads with eight-pointed iron rowels. Interior of heel bands marked in script "S H" and "S BELL". Houston wore these spurs at the Texan victory of the Battle of San Jacinto, and later during the ball held on the Anniversary of the battle. A December 1914 article in the Knoxville Sentinel which published a short biography of Bell and his adventures in both Tennessee and Texas, confirms that the San Jacinto spurs were manufactured while he lived in Knoxville, Tennessee. **Fine condition. Some very minor scattered tarnishing with one shank showing signs of repair. Chains are in good condition with some deformities from use. Some minor remnants of cleaning agent present in low areas from museum conservation. A once in a lifetime opportunity to own a pair of spurs belonging to an American legend, at one of the most pivotal moments in American history.** Provenance Sam Houston Family Collection “Battle for Texas: The Experienceâ€, San Antonio, Texas $50,000-$100,000
