    Not my cup of tea, a post-traditional "semi-dress" sporran, at just over $50 including shipping.

    Has the usual gold oval Made In Scotland Real Leather stamp.

    Prior to the rise of kilt hire this sporran was made in brown leather with leather tassels; in black, with Evening chained tassels, it is hired with black Argyll or Prince Charlie.

    Looks a bit small, rather like a youth's sporran.

    You may be right, hard to tell sometimes when there are no dimensions given.

    To my eye the sizes of the snap, chains, and bells seem in proportion for an adult sporran.

    Generally they use the same size snap for the youth and child sporrans, so they look bigger in proportion.

    Here's what appears to be a nice example of a brown regimental style day sporran, complete with RRS badge and a leather strap, all for around $50, shipped to the US.

    Pictures are detailed. Stamp is shown and dated. I bet this won't be up long.

    The L&M Highland Dress Sporran came in this week. Having trouble uploading lately, so pics here.

    It's in fantastic shape, and I'm quite pleased. My budget PC outfit is coming together quite nicely!

    This is a nice vintage hunting sporran...

    ...but the price shows the seller knows what they have.

    And there's also this...

    I'm not sure of the age of this, as it looks like new - but could be a printed fur, so free from restrictive legislation. The price is good, too...
