Quality Sporrans for less money

[OC Richard]

One always needs another project!

I have a brass cantle that I picked up months ago, I've got to get round to making the bag for it.

Anyhow here's an L&M Highland Outfitters plain black Day sporran for $16

I don't know the maker offhand but it certainly appears to be a high-quality sporran, musquash, nice "G" cantle (perhaps silver plated) under $50, here in the USA.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure it's WE Scott.

and it sold for $16 (plus tax and shipping). Hardly makes it worthwhile for me to spend the time making my own design.

Looks like the Wichita Caledonian Pipes & Drums https://www.wichitacaledonian.com/ is selling off all their old sporrans $15 each. You can see them wearing them on their site.

They don't show the backs so I can't be sure, but the shape of the bells looks UK made.

the Wichita Caledonian sporrans have a "Made in Scotland" sticker with a thistle on the back. The tab for the strap has a long isosceles triangular point at the bottom.

does that make it a W E Scott?
