    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

    Just a thought. I wonder if the “eagle” on the sporran cantle is in fact a swan? The wings, the body, the legs particularly the thighs and particularly the neck, head and beak don’t look very “ eagle” like to my eye. Does it matter? Well in heraldry it may be significant and may point you in another direction.
