Quality Sporrans for less money

[Troglodyte]

Good eye, I have an old chain-strap like that. I didn't know the terminology.

I have a few as well...

The 'diamond cut' finish removes the rounding from the links' shoulders, and so makes the chain lie flatter against the kilt. The links often seem to be closer to each other, too, which adds a kind of 'superior finish' to the chain-straps I feel.

I have managed to find supplies of these old chain and clip styles in solid brass, and have replicated the 'vintage' look with new-made chain-straps. Being non-lacquered, the brass quickly takes on a pleasing patina that goes very well with old leather sporrans.
