The first two are not "in the style of", Brian. The first was made in Glasgow 1912 and the middle is probably 1850-1870. The bottom one appears to have an 18C sterling cantle but in that case the bag must have been remade in the 20C -- perhaps using the original as a pattern -- because this is not old leather. All are privately owned. In terms of value I've no idea about the last two but the first one was purchased recently (2008 or 2009?) at about USD2000. I suggest Ian Grant and other Scots silversmiths would charge twice or more to make it today.

Just three entirely different ideas for Jock, all with silver cantles.
