    Turpin has a badger sporran on his no-jones page http://www.thorfinnsporrans.com/8.html at a fairly reasonable price including a fur flap and a black leather flap, but not a full face.

    I know he makes them to order, but those are based on the cost of the pelt plus a set amount for labor. Here's a pic of his own Buddy the Badger in the Stone Mountain Games thread. http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/x...stone+mountain (see the fourth picture down).

    If you have one made, he can adjust the size to your liking because they're custom.

    These folks stock several species other than badger that are smaller and might make an adequate but smaller sporran:

    I've been wondering what the muskrat looks like and for $20, I might just order one to see.

    I get your point about the general huge-ness of some of the full-critter sporrans...sometimes it looks like the sporran is wearing you instead of you wearing the sporran.

    I'm sure that when you find a pelt supplier you could call them and ask if they have any smaller versions of what you're after.
