WW1 World War One Canadian Day Sporran
Found the great example of a WW1 Canadian army Sporran on ebay. Really like this design but the thousand dollar price tag puts me off a bit. Really great condition for for 100 year old piece of leather.

Most kilt shops will sell a plain brown military style daywear sporran.
Which are worn with a narrow plain brown leather belt.

Sure but how cool would it be to have a 100 year old sporran with all that history attached to it.

Hence the $1,000 price tag.
I personally wouldn't pay for that connection to history, but I fully understand (and appreciate) the economics that motivate the people who are willing to spend that amount.

I am not going to buy it myself, but I find it interesting. If it fell into my possessions buy some twist of fate would be unlikely to part with it.
The reproduction is also a little bit interesting in it's design. it comes like the original without leather dye or beeswax treatments.
