    I can remember, after searching the forum, reading that you had a couple on top of the one you sent me.

    The brass cantle in the sporran I'm pictured wearing is not MOD. As David indicated, that one was acquired via personal trade, and I had my personal sporran maker (what, don't you have a personal sporran maker?) replace the thin leather bag on it with a more substantial deerskin bag.

    The two I mentioned that I am having made currently are MOD cantles and both were purchased about the same time on Ebay. I had been keeping my eye open for old MOD brass cantled sporrans on Ebay for some time, probably a couple of years, and then saw three listed at once. I had a maximum amount in mind I wanted to spend and was lucky enough to snag two of them.

    Just keep your eye open and be patient. One piece of advice; make sure to search ebay.co.uk and ebay.ca as well as ebay.com.
