One of the sporrans arrived yesterday and it's fab! It's certainly old and does indeed have a sheet metal cantle. What was missing was the badge, fortunately I had an old Highland Light Infantry badge so I put that on, I had a relative who was in the HLI who died in France in WWI so that's fitting, shame I didn't have it for Remembrance Sunday/Armistice day the other week but never mind. The kilt arrived the other week actually and certainly looks very old but there are no labels or anything inside, are there any other telltale signs, stitching etc?

MacLowlife, I certainly take your earlier point regarding sellers "bigging up" their products by listing them as vintage, but to be fair I didn't pay through the nose for any of them and would be more than happy with what I paid even if they were just "normal" second hand.

Will post pics shortly.
