    Now this is one for the collector..!

    And judging the way the price has already soared, it seems as if the collectors have been quick to spot it.

    Beautifully-made by one of the best, in seldom-seen white leather and a hallmarked silver (ie, solid sterling silver) which shows it was assayed at Glasgow in 1910.

    But the style of bag seems of a later era - more mid-century - so my guess is that the cantle has been reused, and that this sporran could well be a custom order.

    A wonderful thing, whatever, and a bargain at the current price.
