On Ebay UK, a sporran stamped Lochcarron, very inexpensive with no bids.
It's a leather Day sporran with bovine face, but with six tassels.

Not a sporran, but a high-quality modern belt buckle from Glen Esk, for under $20 including shipping (in the USA).
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Scottish-Ki...p2056016.l4276
It's Glen Esk's Celtic knotwork stag buckle, a very nice modern design which IMHO has a traditional feel to it.
New, this buckle is $60 here https://www.ebay.com/itm/30322752873...Bk9SR46MyLrQYg
Sadly this design has been re-cast and mass-produced in Pakistan, however the Pakistani copies are noticeably crude in execution.
Here's the Glen Esk original (top) and one of the Pakistani re-casts (bottom).
Some of the re-casts are pretty good, but none I've seen capture all the details of the original.

A Scottish-made "Prince Charlie" EW7T sporran for $25 here in the USA.
It's strange, and I've not seen one like it.

All the wool is in bad shape. But the horsehair sporran by Hugh MacPherson may be worth the bid alone. Can't see any detail on the belt.

Black "day" sporran in a classic pattern for $5.
It has the gold oval Made in Scotland Real Leather stamp.
The sporran seems in good shape, the chain strap not so much.

Two Scottish-made sporrans for $10.
The "semi-dress" has seal. I wish these were being sold separately, because the brown leather one is very nice.

Two Scottish-made sporrans for under $2.
Not sure of the fur, one looks possibly bovine, the other seems seal, but in the closeup looks perhaps artificial seal.
