There are no prizes for guessing the maker, and it might be worth a punt if you can live with the lazer-etched lettering on the rear panel.

I cannot really see my humour or a fine example of renaissance sculpture (which is on public display at the Met for all to see) falls foul of The Rules.
But there we go.
You may consider me duly chastised - knuckles rapped, knees slapped and the naughty step is now my seat. Any apologies demanded are freely given.

This is the sort of thing that makes buying Scottish-made things difficult.
This sporran says "Made in Scotland" both in the title and in the description, but under "Country/Region of Manufacture" it says Pakistan.
I've seen sporrans with this very 'Made In Scotland Real Leather' stamp that I've had worries about. This only adds to the questions.

There's a seller that lists on Amazon who I strongly suspect is using a stamp like this on Pakistani products.

I won the bid on this piece, especially liked the chain and hooks, may replace the leather strap. Any recommendations on how to do that?

Well done..!
Replacing the leathers on the chain-strap is an easy business.
The trickiest thing is to find suitable leather, but suppliers like Tandy in the USA are a good sourse. They will also have the necessary punches, needes and thread for stitching in case you want to replicate the strap as it is, and saddle-stitch the parts, or they will have the rivets if you want the easier option.
Taking the strap to the shop for them to see the job in hand would be useful, and the sporran itself, too, as you may be lucky and get a near match for the brown leather.
Either way, I would recommend paring (skiving) the ends of the straps to virtually nothing, and glueing down the turned ends before stitching or riveting. The finish is much neater and feels more refined.
