介绍（中）	这对马刺是美国内战期间联邦军官特别喜欢但并非唯一佩戴的马刺。这种马刺经常出现在军事装备目录中，如斯凯勒、哈特利和格雷厄姆于1864年出版的《武器和军用品图解目录》，军官可以从中订购这种商品。鹰当然指的是美国的徽章，这些马刺是作为爱国主义的象征而佩戴的。它们的灵感可能来自其他国家制造的类似的现代马刺，这些国家也使用鹰作为徽章，比如墨西哥或德意志帝国这个马刺是用电流成形术铸造的，这是当时复制3D物体的一种相对较新的技术。胆囊成形术，也称为电打字，是一种使用电流的化学过程，用金属（这里是铜合金）覆盖之前浸入溶液中的模具。很有可能是用类似的电镀工艺对这对金属进行了镀银。然而，赛艇是一个经常与马的侧翼接触的部分，是用铁铸造的，这是一种更坚固的金属
介绍（英）	This pair of spurs to a type particularly favored, but not worn exclusively by, confederate officers during the American Civil War. Such spurs were often advertised in catalogues of military equipment such as Schuyler, Hartley and Graham's “Illustrated catalogue of Arms and Military Goods”, published in 1864, from which officers could order this kind of good. The eagle refers of course to the emblem of the United States and these spurs were worn as a sign of patriotism. They might have been inspired by similar contemporary spurs made in other countries also using an eagle as an emblem, such as Mexico or the German Empire. This spur has been cast using galvanoplasty, a relatively new technique at the time for reproducing 3D objects. Galvanoplasty, also called electrotyping, is a chemical process using electric currents that coats a mold, previously immersed in a solution, with metal (here a copper alloy). It is very likely that the pair was then silvered using a similar process, called electroplating. The rowel, however, a part constantly in contact with the horse's flanks, is cast in iron, a stronger metal
