    I'm real sorry to tell you this John but it is illegal to import into or sell items made from seal in the US. It is also illegal now in the UK and the EU.
    The only Western country I know of that is still able to make a seal skin sporran is Canada. Of course you can't import those items across the border.

    In 2009 the Celtic Craft Center in Palm Springs, CA was raided by agents looking for seal skin sporrans. (of course the newspaper article about the raid said that the agents suspected that the store had seal skin kilts)
