Hey Guys, thanks for posting the photos-- I just can't get it done with the i-Phone!

This is my "every day" sporran, and the brass gets polished once a year whether it needs it or not! It's not an antique, although the gentleman who made it was; he served in both WWI and WWII. Here's the story:

I purchased the sporran in 1971 at the Braemar Games in Scotland from a retired RN Commander who made them as a hobby. He copied an original (he was wearing it, so I can attest to the closeness of the copy), but simplified the latch. The cantle is obviously brass, and the hand stitched bag is deer hide from a deer shot by the Commander on a neighboring estate. When I bought this sporran, it cost 5 GBP less than an evening wear seal skin sporran, so it wasn't exactly cheap; but in my opinion at the time it was worth every penny. After thirty seven years I still haven't changed my mind.
