Some lucky bidder got those sporrans for such a low price. Unfortunately it wasn't me.
I discovered this board and this thread after those auctions had ended.
I'm living in Germany, so I can buy sealskin sporrans with, in fact I've already got one, but by now I know it's for boys. It came together with a kilt, and I suppose that's why the kilt is too small for me, very likely it wasn't for an adult.

I'm looking for quality sporrans at a low price (I don't want some cheap and nasty import), as I've got a small budget.
But I find it difficult to recognize if used sporrans that are offered at Ebay are any good or not.

Surely an ex-hire sporran like this is bound to be good quality:

Just that I'm not that keen on bovine.


But should I rather avoid sporrans like this where there's no mention of „Made in Scotland“ on the back of the sporran?

Nicoll Bros sporrans are good quality?

I wonder how much it would cost to have this damage repaired, but I wouldn't know where to get it repaired, there are no sporranmakers in Gemany.

This is also a Nicoll Bros sporran, and I would be tempted to get it if it was less expensive.

I've got a too expensive taste. If I didn't need to look at the price and could simply buy what I like best then I would get a mink sporran. There are no ex-hire mink sporrans available though, and new ones cost more than 200 Pounds.
