    An amazing piece. It shows just how inferior today's "custom work" is compared to what was available a century or so ago. Well done, indeed. (And I must spend more time on eBay...)

    I agree completely. To be honest this is the reason I haven't speant more of getting a "nice" sporran yet. This is just a beautiful piece of craftsmanship, where did you find it?
