Ranchmanben Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Looks like a poorly made modern copy of a medieval stirrup of some sort! Other than that, I've got nothing of value to add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckydoc Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Have you read Don Coldsmith's Spanish bit series? He found an old bit and wrote a novel on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I'm already aware of the company this was keeping ID and the assumption that it is an item of tack is reasonable, however there are other possible uses for a stirrup.....could have been made for a crossbow for instance.

ThomasPowers Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 certainly does not look like any crossbow stirrups I have seen; european, medieval through modern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
