Interesting Sporran

[Nathan]

I have liked the Prince Charlie style since I saw a series of photos on here which showed one worn by theDuke(s) of Argyll over several generations.

I have no ancestral sporran and nary a drop of noble blood. However, I am drawn to both the hair and PC cantle aspects of that particular sporran.

As an aside, Creagdhubh, you noted twice that you never wear yours anymore. Are you thinking of passing it along to the rabble?

IrishSean, the photos you posted are of long hair sporrans or sporrans moloch. The Prince Charlie sporran is a pouch style sporran with a flap like a day sporran but it's covered in short fur, typically has 6 tassels and the flap is decorated with ornate metal.

Just making sure that if you're looking for one like the Dukes of Argyll, you don't go searching for a Prince Charlie sporran.

Edit: I do recall now that Kyle mentioned his hair sporran had a Prince Charlie cantle. So that's confusing. A Prince Charlie Sporran is a dress sporran with a flap rather than a cantle but a Prince Charlie cantle is a Vicorian Style cantle with a 7 sided polygon shape.

So...to review:
