    There's a category of sporrans one sees fairly often on Ebay: sporrans with aftermarket modifications.

    A sub-category of this is civilian sporrans which a veteran has stuck military badges on.

    Here's a WE Scott civilian "Day" sporran onto which someone, most likely a veteran, has stuck an Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders collar badge and tunic button. £25.

    Somebody not familiar with Argylls sporrans might think it looks military issue, however the Argylls had a unique sporran badge unlike their other badges.

    Photos show Argylls officers wearing sporrans with tassels without badge.

    Here's a Forsyth day sporran, beautiful, though from the size of the tassels and tab on the back it looks to be a "youth" size sporran.

    It's nice to see that version of the regimental purse in action - have an unused example with its strap that's curently looking for a new home.

    That looks very nice. Hopefully there isn't a bidding war on it. I guess I will find out in a little over 4 days from now.

    That's not a pipe band sporran, it's too beautiful! Pipe band sporrans are cheap things so they can outfit the band without great expense. 😉

    Is that your bid on it? Best of luck to you!

    I placed a bid. It looks a lot like one of the current L&M models at a (for the moment) much more favorable price.
