A few days ago at a consignment shop I purchased what first appeared to be a sporran. Upon closer inspection I found that it is not a pouch as it should be, but a flat piece of leather with a belt loop on the back. The back is a full grain leather and on the front some kind of soft reddish fur. The sporran measures 8" (20cm) high by 5½" (15cm) wide. I can date it to 1901 - 1910 from the brass cypher of Edward VII on the top. It has two tassles with what appears to be sheepskin.

Sold along with it (although I don't know that they go together) is pin with a gold and pearl and diamond (presumably all fake) Maltese cross on black velvet and four ermine tails (there may have originally been five).

Can anyone give me any information on these pieces and who might have worn them?
