    That’s two formidable full masks, gentlemen.
    But I think Baldybrown needs to get some glass eyes. The poor thing’s empty sockets look rather sad.

    Hee! Someone mentioned it to me on Friday and told me it was there, and I called and spoke with Kathie and jumped right on it. I already like it even better than I thought I was going to, and I'll be wearing it this weekend at the Highland Games in Pleasanton.

    2 "very nice rabbits" one dress, one day, and a military horsehair that arrived today from my parents in the UK (hopefully I'll get some red horsehair tassels and a Maclean badge for it.

    Re: Show us your sporrans...

    I agree with Richard's comment, that is a nice looking sporran with a 19th-century look to it - I used to own an L&M muskrat full-mask sporran, as well as an L&M bespoke horsehair sporran with the same 'Prince Charlie' style cantle - both have since been sold off and replaced with more bespoke, Kate Macpherson full-mask sporrans...as well as a bespoke goat hair sporran with an Ian Grant silver cantle, that I shall be commissioning Kate, shortly. Well done Highland Logan! L&M makes great stuff, and it appears they are located very close to you in Nova Scotia!

    It's interesting to see the vast amount of difference between full-mask sporrans made of North American animals, versus full-mask sporrans made in Scotland with native species there. For instance, the L&M badger is so much larger and has a lot more hair than their Scottish counterparts. It is very interesting to see the differences.

    Cheers,

    Today i got a "sporran", in reality a medieval belt bag from a outfitter for the medieval community in Germany. I won't name them because of my experiences.

    In short. I ordered it at the end of february. After several weeks and 3 emails, that weren't answered I filed a complaint with Paypal, and whoosh it suddenly materialized.
    But no word of excuse, not explanation, nil. But I can't complain about the product itself.

    Here are the pictures:
