Speaking of sellers not putting helpful photos of the backs of the sporrans on Ebay, here's one that I suspect is by W E Scott & Son.
They made these "bovine" versions of seal sporrans for sale to the US market.
I did ask the seller about the back.
In any case it's a bargain at $65, as I strongly suspect it's Scottish-made.

W E Scott & Son used to use that gold oval Made In Scotland Real Leather stamp, but at some point (I wish I knew when) they stopped stamping their sporrans, just putting on a sticker.

and it was often sold with a fur front.

I LOVE this style and keep hoping one turns up that I can afford.

You're welcome!
There is a brown leather Day sporran with seal front on Ebay now, a nice Forsyth one. It's got quite a few bids already, and I do wonder how high it will go.

I imagine it will go for a fair amount. It’s a handsome sporran. I considered bidding on it but I’m already after a goat hair sporran.

Here's a nice lot on eBay at the moment
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175570538174
The bidding is only £5.50 ($6.73) but there are still six days to go...
The leather and fur, with brass flap-plate is interesting, and has a 1940s air to it. Someone could get lucky if the bidding remains low, but I suspect it will soar.

Here's an elegant, simple day sporran in brown, with the gold Made in Scotland stamp on the back. The sporran looks virtually unworn, and it even comes with a leather strap.
