    Here are a couple old Black Watch sporrans. You can find these on Ebay fairly regularly, sometimes with the badge, sometimes plain.





    Yes each regiment had its own style.

    The kind you have there, with the hidden press closure, was worn by the Camerons, seen here:



    This is the style which was adopted for the RRS today.

    This 1957 photo shows the light khaki hose and puttees worn by the Pipe Major, in contrast with the rest of the pipers. I'm assuming that Senior NCOs wore the same style as Officers, I could be wrong.

    What's interesting is that there's at least one WWII photo of the BW Pipe Major where he is clearly wearing the ordinary khaki (US olive drab) hose.

    You can see the distinctive BW sporran too.
