Real or fake sporran

[Father Bill]

Well, it's really a sporran; what's your concern?

Hi Bill,

thanks for your reply.

It looks like a sporran but just wanted to check it's a genuine one with correct tassle lengths etc and not a cheap fake. I found the following article on fake sporrans. This one looks old which I like. Any sporran experts know anything about this one?

Well, I can't say exactly what it purports to be since the E-bay listing doesn't say. All I'm saying is yes, it's a sporran. Is it consistent within itself? I think some of our military historians will tell you shortly, so stay tuned!

My 5cents;
Looks like a nice piece and the seller has high score. Seems the only thing to authenticate from the description is "antique". There's a range that might be difficult to define? Of course, if it arrives and its costume hair..well then you'll know.
