Ubiquitous Sporran Anachronism

[Stoff]

Way back when, in the late 80's before anyone knew that MOD cantles were out there, a well known dirk maker made a sporran cantle and vowed to never make another.

The brazing, engraving, making dies for the punchwork, and then there is the large knob pivot hinge makes a cantle beyond what most folks want to both do, or pay for today.

I have been thinking about investigating how to go about producing period authentic sporrans. So far the best I can work out is the standard leather flap with fur face, Rob Roy and possibly a leather cantle. I am open to any affordable suggestions that any here might have.

Thanks,
