    Yes indeed everyone add their photos! I just posted the ones I could find online (apologies to Artificer or the sporran owner if they don't want their sporran here, let me know and I'll delete it).

    I love this roundup of three tassel-less ones

    The 10th sporran from the top with the Cape Breton Island shaped brass badge is mine and I couldn't be happier with it.

    You may be right, however I did want to put a face to it so to speak.

    All these great sporrans are very inspiring. As soon as my new hip heals I'll get down to my workshop to get going on the sporran for the MOD cantle I picked up.

    Mine is sporran #5 that OCR kindly presented in post #1. It's a mottled pig skin, and I make a point to wear it at all the Highland games I attend (as long as it's not raining).

    Yes I was going to get around to doing a second 'gallery' thread of these being worn. My intention (though I forgot to mention it) was for this thread to just be closeup photos of the sporrans in isolation.

    I took the liberty of posting y'alls photos of these sporrans 'in action' on the other thread.

    That's a good point. While taking absolutely nothing away from the wonderful work of the Artificer, the sporran commissioner often does much of the concept development and has a huge collaborative hand in the design process. Scott made my dream sporran a reality but it would be nice for admirers to know that it is a creative collaboration. I take pride in the sporran not just because I own it, but because it wouldn't exist if I hadn't taken the steps to have it made.

    @jock gray, Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I did a few DIY cantles. It's always interesting to see a different take on a metal cantle. good luck with it!
