Not our brief- these are rather pricier- but it goes to show the trouble people can have identifying military sporrans.
The seller initially had these listed merely as a pair sporrans ($350 for the pair) then pulled down the listing.
Evidently it's because people were telling him that one of the sporrans is a Cameron Highlanders sporran, because now he's relisted it with that description

Alas, it's a Liverpool Scottish sporran. I told the seller as much, and sent him a 1930s photo showing a member of the Liverpool Scottish wearing it.
Which is cool, them being rather more rare. But I do wish the seller would split the sporrans up. A military collector isn't going to want to pay for a civilian sporran, and visa versa.
