need sporranmaker for MOD rebag

**OC Richard** · 8th August 16, 07:22 PM

My understanding being that Artificer is no longer taking orders, I'm looking for a sporranmaker who would be willing to undertake the making a new bag for one of those 1953 MOD "Culloden" sporran cantles.

If they are interested in acquiring one of those cantles, I can give them one in partial trade.

I would like something like this, bobcat or fox, with three braided leather tassels.

Thanks! Richard

I recognize that sporran!

Looking forward to seeing what you end up with!

Yes it's beautiful and just what I wanted. You lucky guy!

Richard ,

Here are a couple more sources for sporran makers .

House of Labhran . They are currently making a hunting sporran for me . If you email them a pic , etc , they can probably quote you a price . If you visit their site , click on the " About " tab as they have an interesting photo album .

There is also Kate Macpherson Sporrans , I have no experience with her but I understand she is very reputable .

I cant see the photos, but Im tagging this so to speak so I can view when I get home. I might be willing to take this on.

OC:

Just an FYI... I sourced the bobcat pelt from Moscow Hide and Fur (http://www.hideandfur.com/inventory/6205.html). I like that you're able to see photos of each pelt, as I was in the market for a strongly patterned bobcat, and patterns vary wildly.

They also have a huge assortment of fox (http://www.hideandfur.com/inventory/FoxColorGuide.html).

You may want to leave obtaining the pelt to your sporran maker, but I enjoyed being able to pick my own.

Cheers,

SM

While I agree the above mentioned makers do fine work, one will always do well to consider Lamar Britt, here in the
Atlanta area. See his work at the Tartan Museum or threads on this forum. Dale Seago has several.

That's fantastic! Thanks! I had no idea such a site existed.

I see what you did there.
