bogus military sporrans on Ebay

[OC Richard]

Just a heads-up for those who don't know all that much about military sporrans, these look questionable.

First, said to be a Gordon Highlanders sporran.

You can see that it's a military sporran that's had a different cantle stuck on; the attachment screws are in different places. I'm guessing it's a Pakistani cantle. The cantle has a Gordon Highlanders cap badge (looks like a Pakistani reproduction). Thing is, Gordon Highlanders sporran badges looked completely different.

Here's the second listing, purportedly a Scots Guards sporran. It doesn't resemble a Scots Guards sporran. It appears to be an ordinary civilian sporran with a Scots Guards badge on it.
