    New purchase - old sporran.

    Evening Rabble,

    The quest for value continues. Got this off Eeebs for the princely sum of £17. Seems well made and has a lovely patina. Just after a nice jacket now. I reckon I'll be sorted for less than £500 and will let you see the monster you have created in all it's glory - mostly down to your advice, after all chaps! (having said that, Paul Henry is at Harpenden and my Scottish miserliness may well be derailed - honest mum, the bigger boys made me buy it ).

    I saw that very one as well, and was VERY tempted, but I held back, well done, it look good and for £17 a real bargain.

    Very nice find. These vintage sporrans are so much nicer (and less expensive) than most of the new sporrans available.

    Absolutely mate. I bought a nice black day sporran on my hols a few weeks back - it just needs wearing in for four or five years!
