Sporran cantles

Ah! Its converted to lacing on the bag, that photo has made the rounds thru the reenactor community as being an original because of the lacing!

The one you just posted, this is the backside correct?



I was under the impression, given the presence of the 4 holes on the back, that the hangers were broken off, especially combined with the rather crude leather hanger attachment.

There are only two holes, one either side of the belt strap. They've been there for as long as we've had the sporran in the family. The holes look to be roughly drilled, I can't account for them and there's no evidence that there wee ever bars for a strap. The sewing thread is the original gut, not leather. The hanger is contemporary and other the same deer hide as the bag.
