    Here's an interesting modern take on the Hunting Sporran by Margaret Morrison of Scotland.



    Now, back in the early 20th century there were a number of sporrans which fell somewhere in between being reproduction 18th century sporrans per se, and Hunting Sporrans. They would have the metal top of the 18th century sporran (more or less) and the tooling of the Hunting Sporran (more or less).

    Some were very ornate





    Perhaps the most well-known example which has been in the Royal family for at least a century





    Here with fur. Even with the silver top it is, in my opinion, still a Day sporran



    What feels to me like, more or less, a modern version of this style is the modern sporran below, an Evening Dress sporran of brown fur, with a brown leather Hunting Sporran targe attached, and the metalwork in brass.

    It's a handsome sporran which strikes me as an elaborate Day sporran rather than an Evening sporran.
