As far as the cantle embellishments are concerned, I am quite fond of the pierced hearts and engraved bullseyes myself, so again, I'd speak with a reputable sporran maker (Artificer keeps coming to mind) to see what the costs would be to have this done properly and to your specifications. I will say, that I do like the cantle in its present form, yet I completely understand your desire to "paint the blank canvas" so to speak. I know you didn't mention the silver tassel bells, but I would recommend leaving them as they are if you should decide to have the cantle altered.
Sage advice as always Kyle. Thankyou. . . and fear not, those lovely tassel bells are in fine condition and will be staying exactly where they are.
Steve.
