    Yet, the sporran in my top photo is a currently made one.

    Pretty much all the 'classic' cantles seen in that old brochure are still available in modern sporrans. Somebody is making them! But who?

    I don't know how current that particular listing is. If the sealskin ban went into effect at the end of 2010 this is either OLD New-Old-Stock or their site is out of date.
    Even so, that means that it WAS produced up until a few years ago, unless it was something special they commissioned directly- several other pieces they have listed
    were done that way.

    Doing both a regular google search as well as an image search I cannot find any other contemporary occurrences of this cantle.
    I don't think I've ever seen it in the links/advertising packets I occasionally get sent from Pakistani producers either.

    Have you tried emailing the vendor directly?
