    Yes there's something special about that combination, about Day Wear brown leather sporrans with fur fronts.

    Seems like they appeared right from the get-go, with the first appearance of the modern sporran they were offered in plain leather and with fur fronts.

    Here's an old pattern one sees from time to time which doesn't appear in that old standard catalogue.

    Here in brown with fur front



    and here in plain black (which indicates a more recent example, due to Day sporrans only being offered in brown in the first half of the 20th century, at least by most makers). This example is by Nicoll Brothers, Bankfoot. Obviously the same stamp was used for both flaps.
