    it's extremely interesting because of the kilt and sporran which are both pat of the uniform of the Glasgow Celtic Society from c1880. The eagle on the cantle is clear, as are the blox-pleats and one of the MacKenzie ribbons of the kilt.

    Sorry I don't remember where I got that photo.

    Is the sporran like this one, currently on Ebay?



    We can see, comparing the Ebay sporran above to the one below, that the Ebay sporran seems to be rather dented or misshapen along the top rim of the cantle.

    Also it's clear that the Ebay sporran is white with black tassels while the one in the vintage photo is brown/grey with white tassels, the former befitting Evening Dress, the latter befitting Day Dress.

    I wonder if members could order any hair colour combination they preferred? Or order one interchangeable cantle with two bodies for Day and Evening?



    Here's another one
