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.
