Quality Sporrans for less money

One always needs another project!

I have a brass cantle that I picked up months ago, I've got to get round to making the bag for it.

Anyhow here's an L&M Highland Outfitters plain black Day sporran for $16

I don't know the maker offhand but it certainly appears to be a high-quality sporran, musquash, nice "G" cantle (perhaps silver plated) under $50, here in the USA.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure it's WE Scott.

and it sold for $16 (plus tax and shipping). Hardly makes it worthwhile for me to spend the time making my own design.

They don't show the backs so I can't be sure, but the shape of the bells looks UK made.

the Wichita Caledonian sporrans have a "Made in Scotland" sticker with a thistle on the back. The tab for the strap has a long isosceles triangular point at the bottom.

does that make it a W E Scott?

Yes I would think so.

Here's a vintage WE Scott "Prince Charlie" (EW7) sporran, seal, in the UK, for around $50.

Two of the tassels are missing, but converting it into a 3-tassel sporran isn't a bad thing.

As usual the shipping cost to the US (if somebody wants to risk it) is exorbitant, but it would be a great acquisition for somebody in the UK.

A very nice sporran indeed. Too bad the moths have had a go at it. Looks like a couple of bare spots.

Vintage RG Lawrie horsehair sporran, seems in good condition, US seller, $110 Buy It Now.

With a kilt, which I didn't pay much attention to.

currently $56 for the sporran with $68 shipping then added. probably not a bad price even with the shipping, but not sure I would risk importing seal with all the extra scrutiny at customs.
