    Thanks!!

    For many years I've been collecting photos of the backs of legit sporrans so I can identify the legit makers.

    Now that I have a catalogue of those, recently I've been collecting photos of the backs of sporrans made in Pakistan, both ones being offered for sale directly from that country, and ones which 100% look Pakistani from both the front and the back, exactly matching direct-from-Pakistan sporrans, but which are stamped

    Made In
    Real Leather
    Scotland

    This wording was used in the stamp long used by WE Scott (Edinburgh) evidently meant to mean "Made In Scotland, Real Leather" but which now I suppose is intended to mean "Made In Real Leather, Scotland" which doesn't directly claim "made in Scotland".
