WW1 Canadian CEF Officers Spurs

WW1 Canadian CEF Officers Spurs are original military accessories issued to commissioned officers of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. Typically crafted from brass or steel, these spurs feature a traditional U-shaped heelband, neck, and small rowel wheel for attachment to military riding boots. Designed to aid control while mounted, officers’ spurs were a standard part of the regulation uniform for those serving in cavalry, artillery, and mounted support units. Construction details often include adjustable leather straps and buckles, and some examples bear maker’s marks or broad arrow stamps indicating military acceptance. The style and finish of Canadian CEF spurs closely follow British patterns of the period, reflecting the integral role of mounted services within the CEF structure. These items provide insight into the daily equipment used by officers and are representative of the military material culture of Canada during the 1914–1918 conflict.
