Questions about the product Medieval steel spurs with leather straps

Are the hand-forged medieval steel spurs intended solely as costume accessories for reenactment and LARP, or are they also suitable for actual use while riding?

These hand-forged medieval spurs are primarily designed as authentic costume accessories and historical props for reenactment and LARP. They serve to visually complete a medieval outfit and are not primarily intended for modern equestrian sports. Extreme caution is advised if they are used on live animals.
From which era do these hand-forged spurs originally originate, and what significance did they have in the Middle Ages for the appointment of a knight?

Hand-forged spiked spurs of this type were worn in pairs from around the 11th century and were part of the standard equipment of medieval knights. At his knighthood, the squire received the spurs along with his sword as the official mark of his new rank and a symbol of his knighthood. However, candidates often had to literally earn these insignia through personal trials in battle or tournaments.
Are the buckles of the leather straps made of brass, and can the hand-forged steel buckle be flexibly adjusted to different boot widths to guarantee a secure fit during the performance?

Yes, the buckles on the leather straps are made of brass. The hand-forged steel buckle can also be flexibly adjusted to different boot widths to ensure a secure fit during the performance.
How do hand-forged spurs differ from modern riding spurs in terms of their material processing and maintenance requirements, in order to ensure a long lifespan for the steel and leather straps?

Hand-forged spurs are usually made of traditional steel rather than stainless steel and therefore require regular oiling to protect against rust. The leather straps of historical models are more sensitive to fluctuations in humidity and should be stored at a relative humidity of 45 to 65 percent and regularly treated with special leather care products, while modern riding spurs are often easier to care for and more weather-resistant due to their material composition.
