    Photos of old sporrans on ebay...

    I ran across the following photos and descriptions of three impressive 19th century sporrans while browsing ebay this morning, and they might be of interest to the forum, especially the sporran makers. I've cobbled together an image of each, along with the description for future reference.

    You, sir, are a man after my own heart!

    These have already been filed away for future reference. Thank you.

    I'm assuming that the LXXIX on the first sporran's cantle refers to the 79th Regiment of Foot, making this a sporran of the Cameron Highlanders?
