    eBay sporran

    I have one inexpensive looks-nice-in-photos dress sporran. It's time to upgrade. I can't quite afford to commission one right now. I found one that I like on eBay, but I am not sure from the description that the cantle is metal. The listing just says that it's "Antique Finish". It's chinchilla fur.

    It's about $130-ish. What are the odds that the cantle is metal?

    A quick search on the forum here of the sellers name, Kilts Wi Hae, turned up no results. I have emailed the seller with my question. I am wondering if any among the rabble has experience with this seller.

    I have experience with this seller. They also list via Amazon.

    No problems with them at all, although their ship times from Scotland are not always the quickest the products I have purchased from them are of standard or better quality rather than crappy knockoffs.

    Hope that helps.

    And PS--The Antique finish means it is a brushed or matt/matte finish on the metal, rather than the blingy chromed finish meant to look like polished silver. FWIW.

    I ordered my groomsmen boutonnieres from them and I didn't have any problems with them per se. Only problem was that the time it took to get to me. They arrived in time for the wedding but it took nearly a month to arrive once they shipped. Not their fault, but customs.
