    Sporran assistance

    My name is Dan Walsh. I am a firefighter in Texas. I had a sporran made by an ebay seller named bonsaipottery, this was back in 2013. I have since lost this sporran that I used frequently, when bagpiping, recently. I am attempting to get a new one made similar to what I had but am having a very tough time, as it had a fire emblem on it and was made using badger fur. If anyone out there knows the seller I am referencing, or has contact information for them, I would appreciate it. I scoured my emails, but the only communication I had with them was through ebay, so I only know his name is John, and he also is from Texas.

    If you think you may be able to assist with me getting this sporran remade/replaced, please reach out. I would appreciate it.

    Sorry I tried searching "bonsaipottery" and "badger firefighter sporran" and nothing came up.

    J Higgins has a few firefighter sporrans, but none in badger fur.

    Ditto USA Kilts

    To get exactly what you want might mean going the bespoke/custom route with Margaret Morrison

    They do tons of badger sporrans, and if they don't already have them they should be able to acquire the fire department emblem to put on the sporran.
