    That's a very handsome sporran!

    Personally I'd prefer the tassels to be matching leather, as they would have been in the 1920-1970 period, before the makers started putting Evening tassels on Day sporrans.

    BTW the sporran stamped Piob Mhor would have been made by Nicoll Brothers.

    Piob Mhor (Blairgowrie) was established in 1974 by two Australian immigrants. In 1983 Nicoll Brothers (Bankfoot) was acquired by Piob Mhor, and sporran making continued in the original Bankfoot shop.

    Nicoll Brothers were dissolved in 2007, and were acquired by Margaret Morrison.
