Found in pasture land in Oklahoma about 6" deep. I have found some stuff marked I.T. for Indian Territory on the same place, so I know some of the stuff is before 1907 (year Okla. became a state). I know nothing about spurs, first one I have found. No markings found on the spur.

Anyone have any idea about its age?

Looks like a cavalry spur. Check out the inside right in the center for a possible mark.

I have looked it over pretty closely, no marking/stamp of any kind. If it was military, it should have a marking stamp of some kind, correct?

Nice find. Just yesterday I found a 1860's stirrup.
