What in the world did they use that spur for---not to mention a checkered spur? I have tried to use it for the middle finger with a one hand hold---forget about it!! It's a great thing to grab onto using a two hand hold----but (and while I wasn't there at the time) I've never seen (photos of) any target shooter of the era using a two hand hold. (And please don't say it was used to hook on to the sashes. I've never seen any pictures of target shooters wearing sashes either.)

Ralph,
it is a non original blade, its shape being different from the original ones. Otherwise I would nīt know for sure. Iīll post some pictures of it.
Maybe itīs just me, but I find the trigger guard spur not so uncomfortable for placing the middle finger when shooting with a one hand hold. It just feels a little weird. Anyway, not my first choice for one hand hold, though.
