A couple of weeks ago, I won an auction for a Craigie full-mask badger sporran on ebay. The sporran has the badger's feet/claws as tassels.

I've been wanting a badger mask sporran for some time, but was put off by the size and fluffiness of most of those that are available commercially. The scale of this sporran is about like those of others I have, and the fur is trimmed fairly closely to the bag. Additionally, the fur only appears on the front and flap of the sporran, rather than around the entire sporran as is the case with many I've seen.

I know full-mask sporrans aren't for everyone, and that many have expressed a preference for European badgers over their American cousins, but I think this particular sporran strikes a good balance. The taxidermy is excellent, and includes a portion of the lower jaw. Overall, I'm quite pleased with the sporran for the price.



And the back, for a size comparison to my prized Artificer #11:



Cheers,
