I doubt they sell many $1195 sporran sets on a firefighter's salary!

I would hope so. While they don't wear the EGA, they do (can) wear USMC uniforms and I think that honoring their service with the Marines this way would be awesome.

I could almost see that but from what I figure (which is worthless since I have not seen these items in person).
$1195 total
-$20 for the cheap looking belt
-$60 for the buckle
-$60 for the sgian (it looks to be a cheap plastic one)
-$500 for the sporran and chain
-$35 for the cuff links
-$20 for the kilt pin
= $500 for a box????
I'm no expert wood worker but unless the outside has some good hand carved patterns or something I still say its nice but a bit much.

If these are the same (and I think they are) they are slightly better quality that they look in the pictures, but you absolutely right it is overpriced. I would never consider buying it, first because you can buy better quality for less and second because I don't really want a matching set of anything other than dishes. To me a matched set like that is part of a uniform, maybe for a band.

I would love to get some FF accessories. As I am now a FireFighter I would love to get some things that can be shown off. If you all know of a kilt night coming up in NC let me know
