Need a spur ID

[VAdigger1988]

So much promising stuff has come from this spot I found a peice of spur this morning and to me looks like it says oakes on the marked spot but it's oddly shaped and couldn't find much can anyone ID?

A nice pair of spurs as close as I could find like the piece you found sold in an auction in 2012 for $250, they don't appear to have a maker's mark that can be seen from the only photo, and the only ID of them just says

"[FONT=&quot]CIVIL WAR ERA FANCY BRASS SPURS[/FONT][FONT=icomoon !important][/FONT]
SOLD FOR $250 May 26, 2012[FONT=&quot]", and

"Probably officer's spurs. Spurs of this type are shown in the book "Civil War Relics of the Western Campaign" by C. Harris, pages 117 & 227. Spurs purchased from family whose great grandfather was a Sutler at Fort Sam Houston, in the late 1800’s.

I have talked to another dealer and collector and has informed me it is now leaning towards a confederate spur
