    If I had the needed funds presently I would. Then I would wrap it in buckskin with Sage, Tobacco and lay it under an Oak. It needs more respect than this.

    Agreed. A proper burial and a wee dram out of respect...then off to order something nice from one of our talented sporran makers here.

    The vendor should not be allowed to profit from this even if there is altruism in wishing to buy it.

    Item description claims it is "great for turning heads." Yes, I usually manage to turn my head before losing my lunch. . .

    That looks more like a 'full pelt' sporran rather than just 'full mask'. I have a full mask sporran (badger), and it's just the head and part of the pelt, with three horsehair tassles. To include the legs and tail?? NOOOOOO.

    There's a place round the corner from me which does organic booze and vegan food. Not my bag really but it opens late and I remember getting some dirty looks when I walked in wearing my dress sealskin sporran once after a few too many at a charity do. I can only imagine what they would make of that thing swinging away round my groin.....

    I remember seeing one full-face which used two of the legs and a bit of the tail instead of horse-hair or leather fringe tassles that looked ok. Wasn't from a large tailed critter, though. For the life of me, I wish I took a photo. The ONE time the feet and tail was used on a sporran that looked nice, and I didn't have a camera...
