The Spur Question

[L Verge]

If you want a quick synopsis of what is in the museum at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, check out this link: https://thehistorytourist.com/2013/01/21...aling-wax/

I did note (with a museum curator's chuckle) the line of text that pretty much says that the museum accepts anything that comes from someone with a military background - provenance be damned!

I'm bored and will drive you crazy today!

This link from the Ford's Theatre site says that Booth's "boot and spur" were used as material evidence in the trial against Mudd: https://www.fords.org/lincolns-assassina...e-dr-mudd/ True? Was the spur actually introduced into evidence? If so, that would prove the Oldroyd spur story false as well as the Reams story, imo. Is the true spur another object of the crime that conveniently disappeared over the years?
