    That's cool! Looks like the characteristically wide Nicoll Bros sporran body, more rounded, while W Scott and most makers had a longer more waisted look.

    They were still using the Nicoll Bros Bankfoot stamp in 2003 I see.

    EDIT: Piob Mhor acquired Nicoll Brothers Bankfoot in 1983 and expanded the Bankfoot factory staff from 5 to 13.

    That's interesting, I didn't know that Piob Mhor continued the Nicoll Brothers operation in Bankfoot, and seem to have more than doubled their sales.

    Nicoll Brothers Bankfoot seems to have wound up in 2007 and were taken over by Margaret Morrison.
