    Modified SWK Nylon Sporran

    It's not much but I've added a cross in a ring onto my SWK nylon sporran.



    The cross is made my Tandy Leather (if it's good enough for leather, it's good enough for nylon ). I had to add a folded piece of leather to the back of the flap, that way the cross didn't spin around .

    It's just alittle something to personalize my stuff.

    There is a close-up on my blog.

    awesome! I like the iron cross and chain too. Also diggin the way the leather on your sporran strap looks "distressed." nicely done.
    Inside me is a thin woman screaming to get out. But I can usually shut the b*tch up with chocolate!

    Dave,
    Great pin, where did you get it? It looks great on the nightstalker!
    I am seriously thinking about ordering one this Thursday, and after seeing you're cool photo, I'm that much closer.
    Your straps do indeed look awesome as Cloves already pointed out. Are they reallyt old or did you treat them with something? Or did they just come that way?

    It's not a pin, it screws in the back, so I had to put a small hole in the front of the sporran.
    As for the straps, I was rummaging through my storage closet (luck I don't through junk away ) and I found an old purse of my wifes. The strap already had an old look to it.
    And the Maltese Cross chain is attached to my wallet.

    Given your location, Ron, I'll bet you could find a nice Navajo craftsman to make you a special XMarks concho… And, if you do, I'd like one, too!
