    sporran cantles source

    The question has come up a number of times from DIY people, where can I buy cantles?

    Just now several came up on Ebay.

    This style, being sold in both polished and antique versions, looks like a quality cantle

    But a warning, several of the other cantles from this seller look to be poor-quality recasts, almost surely made in Pakistan.

    (It may seem counterintuitive, but often you can buy a dodgy Pakistani sporran for $20 or $30 that has a quite nice cantle, bin the sporran and have a nice cantle to use for your project.)

    A second thing I noticed, whether or not it concerns you, is that who is obviously the same seller is using two different Ebay accounts.

    In any case there at least appear to be two quality cantles to be had, though be sure to note the rather high shipping cost.
