    Here's another to watch...

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186528030887

    There are still eight days to run on the listing, but there have been six bids already, and the price is now upto £181.77.

    A nice example, this...

    Oh that's a beautiful cantle which I've not seen before.

    There are a couple sort of similar in the 1909 Leckie Graham catalogue but no match.

    Here's a lovely one said to be red deer hide.

    From the shape of the tab I'd guess Nicoll Brothers.

    $75 no bids.

    Let's hope the powers-that-be at eBay can refrain from arbitrary that's-banned-so-destroy-it action this time...

    Did I mention this one?

    $15 with no interest in it.

    It has the distinctive tab shape used by Janet Eagleton MBE.

    I've seen several sporrans that look exactly like hers but don't have a visible stamp. Not sure why.

    That is exactly what I'm looking for. But, alas, seal.

    I’m not saying you should, but I bought one from eBay a few years ago that made it in just fine. Just make sure the seller doesn’t put what kind of fur it is.

    There have been a few Ebay sellers who call their real sealskin sporrans "faux fur" to get around the law.

    It's probably very unlikely that anyone will check if it's faux or real.

    I've heard people say that they've repeatedly bought seal sporrans on Ebay UK and they've come into the USA without issues.

    On the other hand I had a horsehair sporran stopped and seized, so who can say.

    I bid. Didn't win it. Outbid at the last minute and I wasn't at the computer as it was early AM... on a holiday.
