Quality Sporrans for less money

[OC Richard]

The majority of Pipe Bands the world over have worn this style of sporran since it came on the scene in the 1980s.

At typical Pipe Band contests in Scotland, for a quarter century now, all but a couple bands will be seen wearing these.

Most if not all the Scottish makers, and L&M in Canada, has offered these. Of course the Pakistani makers jumped on the bandwagon and copied these endlessly. There are untold thousands of these around the world.

But this (AFAIK) is the original, introduced around 1980 by WE Scott Edinburgh.

This is an older example, much nicer than they're making nowadays. I think only L&M is making ones this nice now.

$20 no bids.

The sporran is WE Scott's "hunting sporran" done up in black with the EW3 (pierced Celtic knot) Evening sporran cantle, in chrome, stuck on top (bottom row below). Why so popular? I think it has an appealing mix of bling and simplicity, and for Pipe Band use has the advantage of having no tassels to fall off.



Here's a modern pipe band, SFU, wearing them (these are probably by L&M).
