    Unfortunately we cannot trust artist' pictures, it's wrong way to make final conclusions about details of military uniforms In this particular case I suppose - it's because poor quality of image.
    There are numerous photos of Cameron Highlanders ORs, lots of real sporrans and NO ONE of them has metal cantle...
