Cantle cost

[Mikilt]

Rabble,
I am thinking of replacing the cantle on my formal sporran. Is pewter a desirable material? What is an average cost for just the cantle?

[Downunder Kilt]

I have pewter on my formal seal skin sporran and my goat hair sporran Cost from Clan art is GBP 46.00

Also Elegent Sotland is a source. I have the Dragons cantle

Those Elegant Scotland cantles are very nice!

I can't see where it says where those cantles are made, or out of what.

I myself love vintage things. Here are four vintage cantles I picked up on Ebay.

Clockwise from upper left:

1) cast solid German Silver cantle probably from the c1920-1940 period

2) cantle fabricated from sheet German Silver and then engraved, the typical c1840-1900 style

3) rim, knobs, and badge in German Silver, with leather front, in a style popular from c1840 through the 1940s

4) 1953 MOD "Culloden" cantle, brass



I took the dragon cantle off the modern horsehair sporran it had been stuck on, and put it on a reproduction of a c1840-1910 style goathair sporran (also got on Ebay)



I sent the MOD cantle to Artificer, who made a lovely 18th century style body for it
