Price? Reduced from: £2,950.00 NOW £2,479.00 (US$4,056 - Can$4,195 - AU$4,400 - €2,723 - XE.com's your friend)

I'd love to have one of these but short of a lottery win, it's a bit out of my bracket. Thought members might be interested and someone here might be able to afford one. If anyone does get one, please review it.

Please understand I'm not trying to take the Mickey. As MoR said.

That is a great deal of money for a sporran, no doubt about it. I am curious, though, why the cost is so high, when sporrans made by Hamilton and Inches, the renowned Scottish silversmith and jeweller, sells sporrans for considerably less. Their website has two sporrans listed, from 1,100 to 1,700 pounds ( http://www.hamiltonandinches.com/cat...rice=&ftype=43 ).

The House of Labhran also sells H & I sporrans made of sterling silver. They seem to have a better selection than H & I itself.
