For a well-under-$50 buy it now, what appears to be a UK-made seal fur sporran here in the USA

I wish the photo of the cantle was clearer. If so I might tell if it's an original, perhaps by FN Birmingham, or a Sialkot re-cast (which sometimes are good).

No marks but looks decent enough. Two chains, one is a long link. Sale supports a children's Hospital. Oddly enough, Ebay Ireland has a fair bit more Highland Dress items than Ebay Canada

I don't think I've seen a brass long-link sporran chain before, that's super, and possibly worth more than the sporran itself.
Here's a lovely sporran, the price a bit high (around $100 with the posting) but still a bargain.
The cantle is the high-quality sort probably by Frederick Narborough, the sporran possibly by W E Scott & Son.
This cantle looks silver plated. I messaged the seller asking if it has Made In Scotland in tiny letters stamped on one side, the high quality ones usually do.
There's an outside chance it's Sterling Silver. I sent the seller photos of both the Made In Scotland stamp (silverplate) and the FN hallmark (Sterling Silver) to see if it has either.

This one, also possibly by W E Scott & Son, seal and leather

Thought this looked interesting, maybe for a collector.

Not really less money, but if the stamp on the back says made in Scotland, might be interesting to someone.

Wow, definitely intricate and certainly not cheap! Interesting to see however.
