    New Ebay sporran maker from scotland

    I just recently came across an ebay vendor from Scotland who some folks might want to take a look at. It appears as if he has been selling a lot, at least over the last year, with 100% satisfaction, but mostly belts and brooches and such. Lately he has started listing a variety of sporrans that he supposedly hand makes himself, including some lovely carved leather and mask sporrans, at pretty reasonable prices. Last week he had a red fox dress full mask sporran that I won, as well as a mink two headed dress sporran that did not sell, each listed at 90gbp (10gbp shipping to the US), and this week he has another more expensive red fox mask dress sporran as well as a black fox mask dress sporran and several other casual and dress sporrans listed at what appear to be reasonable prices. The red fox sporran I won I have not recieved yet, and probably wont be able to post a review for several weeks becasue of the wait on shipping and the fact I am leaving town for a while too. But I will review and post as soon as I can. His ebay store:

    Definitely someone I will keep an eye on in the future as his stuff seems attractive in the pictures at least.

    wow

    Neat stuff. That bigmac always looks good in the menu photo. I hope someone has tried him can give us some insight.

    Agreed, very nice looking items. I'll be waiting for a review. Besides, I owe Turpin my next sporran purchase.

    I will be waiting with these gents for a review as well. I kinda like the idea of a leather plaid brooch, though.

    I'm thinking of getting the brown accessories for my Irish National Kit and that brown leather sporran looks pretty good from the pictures, so does that brown leather broach. The belt and wolf head buckle just doesn't turn my head.

    I haven't purchased anything from him but I did email him a question about one of his sporrans last week. The reply was very prompt and polite. He seems like a good person to business with.
