Three new sporrans

**ForresterModern** · 14th February 09, 07:13 PM

I have acquired three new sporrans in the last 6 months or so, the most recent one this week, and never showed them off here. Thought it might be time.

Brown dyed fox face and leather casual kilt---picked up from a vendor at a small highland games in Arizona about 6 months ago. Fox face flap is simply tanned and dyed brown then dried basically flat---no eyes or taxidermy shaping. matching dark brown leather sporran body.

White fox mask sporran made by Robertson Sporrans purchased off ebay for a song several months ago. Full fox fur body front and back. Flap is full mask with taxidermay eyes and partially shaped face and head but no lower jaw or teeth, so it still lays relatively flat to the front of the sporran. Sometimes makes me think I have my grandmothers pomeranian sitting in my lap, then I return to reality.

Mottled brown **** fur dress sporran with chrome cantle also picked up off ebay for a song (shipping almost cost more than the sporran). Coloring looks better in person.

Still have my eye out for that perfect badger mask sporran, but otherwise fairly well set for sporrans for a while.

Very nice sporrans. Be careful of the Pomeranian.

I normally don't like mask sporrans, but that white fox is sharp.

Hi ForresterModern,

Although I like all three (I will now always think of white fur sporrans as Pomeranians), I think the best thing was the belt buckle in picture three. I think it is one of the best I have ever seen - where did you get it? Please say that it was from an on-line vendor!

Regards

I love the full mask sporrans, especially the white one. They look great!

Thanks for the kind compliments.

About the buckle, it indeed was an online vendor but on on ebay. It has been a while but let me look around and if I find it again I will PM you with the info.
