Another EBay find
Some great stuff on ebay. I just recieved in the mail this set, and was very pleased! The sporran is seal (Illinois seal....) and in great shape. Leather is still supple with no cracking or wear, hair is tight, the tassles are in good shape, and silver plate on the cantle is just in need of a good polish. No sign of it wearing off anywhere at all. A real treat!
The sgian was a nice suprise. The seller had labelled both as silver plate, but when I turned over the sgian I saw it is hallmarked! Nice suprise to find sterling silver rather than the expected silverplate. A real nice vintage piece. Blade has had some hamhanded sharpening, but is in good shape. Stone has a small crack but is hardly noticable. Not sure if that stone is real or not, but nice looking so it doesn't matter. I got both for $300, which seems high but I was already considering buying an L&M dress sporran, as I don't have anything for formal wear yet, and this had the wonderful sgian too!
