    King Edward VII sporran

    Hello forum members,

    I would like to learn more about the style of fur sporran that the king Is wearing in the photo, apparently Is not a very common pattern, as, apart from the king, i have seen a similar One in Just another photo of the MacLean chief in 1912, in this case the sporran Is equipped with tassels too.

    House of labhran has photo of the said sporran in their archive but unfortunately they do not provide much imformation on It.

    Hope to see other photos of this very interesting pattern.

    It's picky. https://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/...s_faq_pictures Check very precisely.

    Here's all the Edward VII sporrans I have photos of him wearing. (He does like the fur ones, doesn't he?)

    The one Steve posted (bottom right in this collage) looks too big to be Pine Marten and too dark to be Badger. Musquash?

    In any case the style is of a "Day" sporran with leather flap closure.
