Thank you. Well, 1944 is towards the end of the war. So..........possibly?? The plot thickens!

It is not my style, but I could see a hardcore music fan (school music teacher as an example) liking it.

As a high school music teacher, it’s definitely something that intrigued me. I’d totally buy it if I wore my kilt to work

Though described as "rabbit" this sporran is obviously seal.

It's in the USA so no import worries. $120 Buy It Now.

Needs cleaning and polishing.

It's by WE Scott and has the scribe line across the back they introduced in 1953 with the Patent opening top. However it doesn't have the Patent stamp, so it's in that period when they dropped the Patent stamp but were still doing the scribe line. Late 1950s? 1960s? I wish I knew.

It has the higher-quality silver-plated cantle with the 'Made In Scotland' stamp which (ironically) tells us it was made in Birmingham, by Frederick Narborough. (Though originally all these cantles went to Scottish sporran makers, thus the wording of the stamp, they did later also go to L&M in Canada.)

Not apparent in hand.

Nice vintage silverplated sporran chain with the traditional high-quality clips $25

Not cheap but definitely "less money" is $475 starting bid for a Janet Eaglton civilianised Argylls badger mask sporran.

Why "civilianised"? It has knobs on the rim and only five tassels.

Interesting that it does use the correct regimental cones and cords.

Also well above my $50 wheelhouse, yet a very good bargain, is this lovely older WE Scott seal Evening sporran with the high-quality silverplate top (look at how crisp the casting is) and unusually nice leather used for the back.

Seal, here in the US, is always great to find. $175

A very nice older seal sporran (not in the US) the Prince Charlie style.
