    A FANTSTIC leather military day sporran from WPG

    Hey Y'all-
    Just wanted to let you know that my Military replica day sporran arrived from What Price glory, and i want to say that it is just INCREDIBLE. i've had one of these in the past that was actual MoD issue , and this is to the stitch identical. Its a darkish brown color and is a little bigger than usual day leather sporrans (Great for my gorilla sized hands that belong to this 6'5 frame). Comes with a leather sporran belt. 25.00$$ !!!!!! You can't beat that!!!!

    How about a picture or two? I couldn't find any photos of the sporran on their web site.
    Thanx!

    Sounds good... would still like to see it on What Price Glory's website, though. Thanks for the "heads-up!"

    I own one of these as well. It is very basic, plain, but functional. Make sure the little post that the flap is secured with is screwed tight. I almost lost mine when it fell off.

    Automotive parts/supply stores sell a marvelous "liquid lock washer" called LOC-TITE (tm). Clean the threads thoroughly, apply a drop, screw it down. I won't come loose again. But if you ever need to remove it, it can be broken loose without harm to threaded items. I'll have to keep visiting WPG myself, or make me a bigger sporran. (I too am (or was) 6"5+ (196 cm).
