It's still a nice-looking vintage sporran with a bit of character.
I have no idea how they got it to look that stained and dark.
Well shoot, sorry about that. Maybe they were using some sort of HDR filter to enhance contrast. On the plus side, it still looks quite nice!

Went very high contrast and down with the brightness in the photo editing software.

I'll need to take a different photo to work from.
I see the key is having diffuse lighting so upping the contrast brings out of variegation on the flat leather but doesn't make the three-dimensional features go crazy.

Just for kicks I played with your image, and I could almost make it look stained and filthy by boosting the contrast, so it could just be someone finagling the image, perhaps to try to compensate for poor lighting. I agree, though, it had an intriguing used/broken in look.

About $76 after shipping, white horsehair sporran.
Stamped: Wm. Anderson & Sons Ltd, Military Outfitters, Edinburgh & Glasgow
I believe this is an older name used by the company Kinloch Anderson.

I was tempted, but it looks like the brass thistle has part of one side missing

Exactly. They were founded as William Anderson in 1868. If they're like many old firms it generally goes founder name only > "& Son" > "& Sons".
I can't pinpoint it but the name-change to Kinloch Anderson might have happened in 1972.
Trouble is with all sporrans, including the horsehair ones, is that they were made in 3 sizes so you need measurements. I did contact that seller asking for that.
This is a great photo showing the three sizes being worn by the intended ages.
