My (expanding Sporran Collection

[Allan Thomson]

I've got a few sporrans, some being modern and ex hire, some inherited but I also by luck expanded my collection with some historically interesting ones.

I'll try to post pictures here but the site isn't letting me upload. Am interested if someone can add more details about the history and periods of some of the items?

So firstly my original sporran Hand Me Down, plain brown leather with 4 hassles, leather strap, brass Buckle and press stud I would guess around 1940's or 50's, I wouldhave said no later than 60's but most likely earlier. Embossed on the flap is 42. And makers mark says Lamontagne Limited Montreal Canada. It looks very similar to sporrans for the Canadian Black Watch. A good sized pouch which concertina fashion will hold a lot. Handy for day wear with tweeds and brown brogues
