Talking to Dan on the phone he mentioned cooking the spur.so after hanging up I decided to dig out my AC adapter.been 2 years since I fried anything so,I went to town on it.I'm no pro but it looks a little bit better now. I was hoping the spur buckle would stay attached as I think it's kinda cool how they fused together laying next to eachother for over 200 years.
