Metalwork for Sporrans and Belts
As a saddler, I have had a lot of offcuts of English bridle leather which I turn into sporrans, belts, and sporran belts (I don't like chains, although I will make chained belts if people are persuasive enough).
However, the metalwork (cantles, tassle balls, buckles) I either get as pewter from ClanArt (same as Craigie, Margaret Morrison, and others do), or I find odd stuff at auctions and in markets like Portobello Road. For decorations, I often use the ornaments used for harness.
My question is, therefore, is anybody able to suggest suppliers who make good brass, nickel, and silver furniture for Highland Regalia, as pewter has its limitations? And I really don't want to get stuff from India and Pakistan.
