The opening bid is incredibly low.
I'm a bit concerned about the size listed, which makes it a tad small for an adult sporran, yet bigger than youth sporrans generally are. Perhaps it's a quirk in how it was measured.

Not a sporran, but a lovely c1930-1950 waistbelt buckle, probably in solid German Silver (cupro-nickel, nickle-silver) and perhaps silver plated, hard to tell. Under $40 with shipping.
I wonder, in the months this buckle has been on Ebay, how many people have passed it up to spend the same amount on a cheap-looking modern chrome buckle.

Do you suppose that buckle would work with a standard kilt belt? Or would it need a thicker one?
