    I follow Margaret Morrison on social media - I believe they actually lost the MOD contract last time it went out for tender, but then the new contract owner basically subcontracts the work back to MM. No doubt cheaper for them than investing in their own tooling etc and the contract is most likely much broader than just sporrans.

    The good news, of course, is that the quality is maintained and they are still made in Scotland.

    Thanks for all the informative responses—they are very helpful.

    Margaret Morrison is, indeed, the reputable maker I eluded to in my OP.

    Since it is likely that MM made the one I found for sale, and it is 45 GBP, with the belt, and including shipping to the U.S. from UK, I’ll take a chance.

    The lister is a casual/infrequent seller, not a regular retailer/reseller/dealer of militaria. I’m confident the items pictured is what will actually be shipped.

    I’ll give an update when it arrives.
