I thought I had found a place to buy some spare cantles...just to change things up and build a sporran or two.... I seem to have lost the links.... Anyone know of anyplace to buy just the sporran parts?

Based on past forum posts, I am under the impression that Stillwater was not going to carry cantles any longer......
Cantles are no longer on the Stillwater site. Also, I am interested in making a "dress sporran" and am looking for a cantle. Anyone know of a source that costs nigh an arm nor leg?
I found an eBay seller (of course) that sells some OK ones, they drop ship from Pakistan, from what I can tell, and from the seller comments the shipments are none too reliable.... That is why I am looking for more..... perhaps someone here that can cast metal would do well to offer some......
I remember someone a couple of years ago purchasing a cantle through ?Buzz Kidder?, but Im not sure if they're still available or not. .
Try this site http://www.lamontsporrans.co.uk They don't have a price list But I E-mailed them for the price on two of the cantles and got this reply Quote: Price for Cantle 136 CLAthistleAH is £46 Slainte, Alasdair There is also http://www.clanart.net/ They ain't cheap but they sure look nice

This guy makes historic-type cantles, that actually function (they have front and back pieces, and actually open and close, unlike modern cantles which are just a decorative piece attached to the front of the sporran): http://www.themadpiper.com/access.htm

Might be a nice way to spruce up an existing sporran..... I have contacted Lamont, looking forward to hearing from them. Thanks for the links!!
