Being uneducated on said item my only thought on that is it's awesome. Hope it turns out to be a good one either way real cool.

Congratulations, Fullstock... you've indeed found a brass civil war Confederate Military spur. The key ID-clue on it is the "sloped" junction between the spur's arm and the rectangular strap-holder. On its yankee counterpart, the junction is a right-angle turn. Compare the junction shape in the photos below.

Thank you Cannonballguy, I was hoping you would comment.
