Antique / Vintage Sporran Question

[OC Richard]

Thanks, yes a cantle 6.25 inches wide indicates an adult sporran.

Goat hair sporrans are often a bit shorter than horsehair ones, but the hair usually ended in uneven wispy bits.

I wonder if a previous owner wanted more of the look of modern short Evening sporrans.

Even trimmed, it's quite a find!

It probably looked something like this when new. (This one looks a bit trimmed as well.)



They often could be quite long.
