Help with sporrans

[OC Richard]

I'm not a fan of Pakistani sporrans. All the low-cost sporrans being sold on the internet and in shops even in Scotland are made in either India or Pakistan. Their quality has been getting better, and some of the Pakistani sporrans being sold by major shops in Scotland and here in the USA are decent.

But I myself will never buy one. I would much prefer to, for the same price, buy a high-quality sporran by a legitimate Scottish or North American maker, used, on Ebay or what have you.

Like this Janet Eagleton sporran for well under $100

or better yet this fantastic vintage sporran for around $100, a wonderful classic look you don't see any more

That's what I would get were I in the market for a sporran.

And for evening? A wonderful seal evening sporran with silverplate cantle, the finest quality, and already here in the USA so no worries about importation

My Prince Charlie, my black Argyll, my two tweed Argylls, my various sporrans, are all high-quality vintage items got very inexpensively on Ebay.

Buying a used sporran isn't like buying a used car... high quality sporrans are built to last several lifetimes.
