Quality Sporrans for less money

[OC Richard]

Here's a Scottish-made (probably W E Scott Edinburgh) sporran in seemingly new condition.

Not super-cheap at $70 but still a fraction of what it would cost new.

This is one of those patterns which as far as I can tell was introduced around the time Kilt Hire started taking off.

Features of these including using black leather, and putting elements borrowed from Evening sporrans on leather Day sporrans.

For whatever reason this particular style, a traditional Hunting sporran done up in black, and with a chrome Evening cantle added, became the standard Pipe Band sporran worldwide. At big competitions you can see a dozen bands, one after another, all wearing this style. It's probably the most-copied sporran in Pakistan for that reason.

Here it is in a catalogue in the 1980s or 1990s HS/T/B (probably Hunting Sporran/Top/Black)
