Yes they were a very nice Scottish maker, established in the 1840s if I recall.
For many years some of the standard "canon" sporran Evening Dress cantles came in chrome or in silver plate. The silver plate ones were stamped "Made In Scotland" on the side.
Interesting that the Nicoll Bros ones have "Nicholl Bros" stamped on the side instead.
Being in Germany I'm assuming that you're able to import sealskin sporrans? That's an issue here in the US as you know.
About ex-hire, I would think that any ex-hire item from MacGregor and MacDuff would be high quality.
