Quality Sporrans for less money

[OC Richard]

Both sporrans from the same uk seller and both look decent quality and at a good BIN price.... ��

I saw those this morning, looks like the Evening one has been snapped up. I had messaged the seller asking if the side of the cantle had a tiny stamp "Nicoll Bros" because that specific cantle was AFAIK made by them.

That brown leather Day sporran is interesting due to the badge, one that I've never seen before. It has the look of a military badge but if so it's an unfamiliar one. I think it's yet another instance of the aftermarket sticking of badges on sporrans, something that's been the ruin of many an otherwise fine sporran.

Here's another brown Day sporran for a great price, unmarked but clearly a vintage Scottish-made item, probably made prior to the advent of press buttons.

and another brown Day sporran, said to be a Scout one though it's not the usual BS pattern, but rather a standard adult pattern. It's stamped RG Lawrie, pretty cool.

Sold within a couple of hours of being listed on ebay and bargain for whoever purchased them...👍

I have watched a number of quality sporrans sell on ebay that have sold for less than £25 and in my opinion worth way more.
Sellers who possibly find themselves with highland wear to sell but unaware of the value of their item do a quick ebay/google search!!!
They see similar Pakistani copies of their item selling new for £20 - £30 on Ebay and wrongly assume their used item us worth less!
Always better to list as an auction for 7 days or more and if what you are selling is quality it will find its level and true value.
