I can't say this will work on your sporran (which is beautiful) but I would hope so. I expect a furrier will use a chemical that won't destroy the follicles of the fur during the cleaning process. Good luck.
Do you use toothpaste on silver plated items, or only solid silver? I would be worried that the abrasives would be harmful to silver plated things.
