David,

What can I say, you are looking sharp, as always. May I assume permission to put these photos up on my web gallery?

On your sporran (where do you find these wonderful sporrans!?) for repair work on the latch on the cantle, you might want to contact Donnie Shearer at http://www.themadpiper.com/

He does mostly blade work, but I know he's made his own fully functional metal hinged cantles before, and he's done some repair/restoration work for us at the museum in the past, so I can attest that he does a bang-up job.

These are some of the sporrans he has made:


Aye,
Matt
