Do you think the one I purchased be used as a semi-formal?

Derek, GREAT post.
One of the interesting things I have observered, and commented on, is that there are some Fantastic buys out there for "sporrans". We just need to ADJUST our "THINKING" A "SPORRAN" is a "BELT PURSE" (in my BP/ML community. they are called "posibility bags") & your "FIND" is a prime example that if we are willing to "adapt", we can add to our "sporran" collectios VERY resonably.

As to using your choice for a "Semi formal" sporran ?? If by that you mean wearing it out to dinner, a play, etc,( wearing a "contemory style argyle", vest & tie, in place of a 3 piece "civilian" suit) IMHO - YES !!! I wear "similar" sporrans all the time for "evening" wear. ( W/O fur,& With fur, dependig on how "dressy" I feel) How have my choices been accepted ?? Well, I have "BASICALLY RETIRED" my "civilan" suits.

BTW, I PREFER the the "modern" clasps, in many cases, because they, IMHO, give me the "contemporary" look I prefer.
