    On Etsy, here's a nice, simple brown day sporran, with floral stamping on the flap, complete with sporran chain and gold "Made in Scotland" stamp.

    Thanks! That's a great bargain.

    The style's called BF in these catalogues. It has the raised & padded flap I associate with Forsyth, but it's not Forsyth.

    You see them with the 5-petal flowers, with the bullseyes, and with tiny thistles.

    Here are a couple more very nice, simple, brown day sporrans at bargain prices from a reputable Etsy shop. They both have stud closures and included chain belts.

    They appear to correspond with STM and A2D in Richard's post above. I'd grab one of these quick if you're in need.

    Thanks! Both gone, it appears.

    Not super cheap (around $70US buy it now) an unusually nice vintage-ish example of the style called AZSF, in a lovely patina brown

    Here are a couple of really fine brown day sporrans with low starting bids.

    The first is about as simple as it gets, in nice chocolate brown, with stud closure, knotted tassels, and leather strap included. I have pretty much exactly this sporran, and I don't know that I'll ever need another. Mine's not marked, but this one does have a maker's stamp, made in Edinburgh, by J. Morrison, if I can make out the letters.

    Then there's this pretty medium brown/dark tan sporran with floral stamping. Comes with a sporran chain and has the gold "Made in Scotland" stamp on the back. I believe this one corresponds with model "STM" in Richard's post above.
