These type sporrans always make me think of "Me Cousin It"

Dude, That'd be a great sporran! Would that one be considered full face?

Depending on the material you want, there are some DYI threads on cantles. Some out of brass lamp bases (chromed later or not), wood and leather materials.

Look to the thread I started on sporran collections by members. Most are handmade.

MOD cantles are still available from time to time. Somebody will crop up with a number for sale, cheaply.

I just sold one on Ebay, I still have three.

The one I just sold on Ebay went for $75, hardly a fortune for a vintage cantle in excellent condition.

About 19th century costume, Dickens and Victorian and US Civil War and Steampunk and such, the sporrans would be long hair ones, which are widely available. Lack of availability isn't the issue IMHO.

For example this one, on Ebay, made in Pakistan or India and costing $150, is perfect for a Victorian costume, brown hair as was worn with tweed jackets and plain hose at that time. (Personally I would switch out the cantle for a vintage one, which come up on Ebay all the time.)
