    The prices are all over the place.

    If you want one sporran that will work for most occasions a hunting sporran with a metal cantle is one sporran that can do this.
    The OP asked about copper or bronze cantled rather than brass. Both are much rarer and neither widely available as far as I know. By way of comparison, here is a brass cantle and a bronze cantle side by side, the latter is mid-18th century.
