    Your instincts are correct, it does look different in person, and I'm mightily disappointed.

    It's still a nice-looking vintage sporran with a bit of character.

    I have no idea how they got it to look that stained and dark.
    Well shoot, sorry about that. Maybe they were using some sort of HDR filter to enhance contrast. On the plus side, it still looks quite nice!

    Went very high contrast and down with the brightness in the photo editing software.

    I'll need to take a different photo to work from.

    I see the key is having diffuse lighting so upping the contrast brings out of variegation on the flat leather but doesn't make the three-dimensional features go crazy.

    Just for kicks I played with your image, and I could almost make it look stained and filthy by boosting the contrast, so it could just be someone finagling the image, perhaps to try to compensate for poor lighting. I agree, though, it had an intriguing used/broken in look.
