Unique Sporrans

[OC Richard]

Here's my day, evening, and everything sporran. Made by a friend some 15 years ago - old Black Watch cantle...

I have one of those 1953 MOD "Culloden" sporran cantles. It's in the photo I posted. But I've not been able to find anybody to make a sporran for it.

The trouble is the attachments, which are little knobs on the inside. Originally there were C-shaped things that clamped over these knobs to hold the leather sporran body in place.

I see what your maker has done was to drill some holes near the rim so that the leather sporran body could be held in place by leather lacing.

Quite correct. what he did was mimic the way the bag was attached on an old (c1740-50) sporran that we have in the family but which, understandably, does come out too often.

Richard,

I also have one of these sporrans. The great bit is the "knobs" on the inside are designed to fit snaps which are sewn onto the leather bag. I've talked with Lamar Britt about sewing a new bag but have had some difficulties in sustaining communication. I'm looking into just gathering the materials and sewing one myself. Since I have the original bag on mine I'll send some pics.
