About sporrans, here for $10 is a horsehair sporran, a very nice vintage one, however all the photos show only the back. https://www.ebay.com/itm/39679025920...Bk9SR4Dk3JH2ZQ

You can see the rim of the cantle in some pics.

I guess it'd be worth the gamble, if nothing else to pick up a vintage cantle of some kind.

And I'm not sure it's adult sized.

Given the size of the sporran in relation to the chain, I'm betting it's a child-sized sporran.

I'd also be leery of it since they don't show the front. I'm betting it was stored flat (and disheveled) for a long period of time. Not sure how easy it would be to get that horse hair to hang straight again.

Maybe the seller would send photos of the front to an interested party if they asked... I'd be interested in seeing the front side!

Cheers,
