    2 New Sporrans

    Well I received two new (no more) sporrans last week. One is a brown leather sporran. The other is a muskrat formal that I picked up on Ebay. I needed a dress sporran for the times I wear the PC.

    Sorry, I've probably misunderstood. Did you get them both off ebay or just the formal one? I've seen similar to the brown, day sporran on ebay meeself and was just wondering if they were one and the same. Any chance of some more pictures to show the ins and outs and round abouts? They are both pretty striking.

    Both actually came from Ebay. Different vendors. The muskrat was used and was a previous sporran for hire. The brown leather is new. Both are traditional and non-specific on the back sides and round-abouts.

    I was looking at the Muskrat sporran, glad you got it, congratulations.

    Both very nice, the muskrat is especially lovely (which really sounds funny when I put it that way).

    Both sporrans are very handsome! You made a good find, Steve.
