    Thanks for posting that!

    It's a clearer image of Edward's sporran (in its original state) than I had seen.

    Interesting how that sporran was modified over the years, first by having all five of the cords supporting the tassels bobbed, lastly by having two of the five tassels removed.



    Charles' sporran seems to have undergone only cord-shortening, and a new centre knob.
