Whoa, 53mm is like... over 2 inches. Or on most people, from their fingertip to the second knucle of the index finger.
Yeah, I'd like to see that pic, too.

There is a set of spurs on huntingnet.com under the turkey section that are 1.8750 inches long and they look like claws off of a raptor.

57mm = 2.2441 "
Or.... .0059" less than the world record Eastern (from the records I could find). I would definitely have that thing measured and remeasured and have it certified. You never know. It could be measured as the new world record.
I saw a set from Eglin AF Base in Florida a couple of seasons ago that were 2" and they were a set of spurs. I'd love to see these too.

WOW I killed one with 1.8750" spur & 1.75" inch spur and thought THAT was huge (and parrothead is right - they DO look like raptors! ;D)!
