    Black version of this sporran?

    I really like the basic look of the mil-issue sporran.

    Does anyone make something like this in black leather?

    Scott made one inspired by this style before, for another XMarker, which you can see in this thread: Sporran #12 - Day Sporran with a 'Twist' WIP:



    My own Artificer #6 was inspired by the post WW1 thru WW2 military sporrans, but with my own twist to it:



    The quality & craftsmanship of Artificer's sporrans are superb!

    The original one you imaged is an L&M made sporran. I'm fairly confidant they would make one in black on request. The STM is an L&M retailer, if you are interested just give me a call or shoot me a PM and I'll call them for you.

    Also word! This would be a much less costly option, and a very sound one, though the same level of hand craftsmanship would obviously not be there.

    Terry that brown one is a real beauty. Simple and elegant is a diffucult skill to master but Scott nailed that one.

    While I'd take the advice of those above and commission Artificer to make you a real one, if you're trying to get by on the cheap, this is available on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/British-Scottish...item3358168fa6

    I have one of these, and a sporran made by Artificer and there's no comparison. Get the real deal if possible.
