    New Life for an old bag?

    I bought this sporran at a black powder rendezvous for $5 (Hudson Bay Pesos). An ex-military sporran which was covered with verdigris and blanco. I removed the bag and tried to scrub the blanco off, no success, so I turned the bag inside out and dyed the leather black. I re-attached the snaps, cleaned the brass gently and put the two parts together. Sorry if any military types are offended by the desecration of a military sporran. Please forgive the crappy photo.



    Kevin
    Cheers

    verdigris and blanco

    (verdigris and blanco) Pardon the ignorance, what are these?
