Ex: William Randolph Hearst Collection. Iron with thickened edge peaked heel plate evolving to the High Gothic form. Double strap eyes to the terminals. Medium length shank for access under the horse flank armor. Globular rowel spikes as in use for a century and predating the tapered spikes of the High Gothic form. One rowel terminal eroded, otherwise complete, but frozen. Could be freed with penetrating oil.
