I have been unable to date this sporran exactly, but its style and construction suggests artisan-made from around the 1950s or 60s. But it might be earlier - an identical sporran is illustrated in the Scott Adie catalogue for 1945. It is made from a superbly soft and supple dark-brown leather - I think it is deer-skin - with the suede side being used to create a gentle intertior. It has a bellows-style expanding bag, with a two-cord drawstring closure, and piping around the welt of the gusset. The fold-over flap is fastened with a monk-rivet stud, and the simple blind-tooling edge decoration is still visible. The leather appears in remarkably good condition, with no cracks or splits - it has obviously been well looked after. I think £75.00 would be a fair price, plus postage - USA $104.29 + $34.89 / Canada $132.37 + $37.41 - for international insurred, tracked and signed-for delivery. I am happy to answer any questions or send more pictures. THIS IS NOW SOLD
