Sporran identification

[Jags]

This is really interesting, thank you. I myself was lucky enough to find a retired QOHldrs officer who said this about it:

“There was, inevitably, some resistance from both old Seaforths, & Camerons, to the amalgamation. Your sporran may have been made by a die-hard Cameron; or just someone who only had the Cameron badge: the hair & tassels of the sporran are pure QOHlders officers.”

I have asked one retired officer, serving in Queen Own Highlanders, The Highlanders and finally in Royal Regiment of Scotland.
His reply was very interesting...

Quote: "... Just before the amalgamation of the Queen's Own Highlanders and Gordons the Sergeants' Mess got authority to wear a different sporran. The component parts were churned out and I suspect this is a product of overproduction..."
