WE Scott sporrans are highly prized and respected for their beauty and their high quality. WE Scott sporrans date back to 1937. the company is still in production with 4th generation staff. This style EW1 Celtic-patterned, mid-century, silver-plate sporran is a high-quality item that will make an exceptionally fine special gift, or accoutrement acquisition that anyone wearing a kilt would be proud to own and use. The red leather back is embossed with “Real Leather” “Made in Scotland”. The cantle is stamped “Made in Scotland”.
The silver-plate cantle has a Celtic pattern on each side of the cantle cartouche. The backplate has an embossed crease that functions as a hinge point to eliminate leather cracking over time. The fur is in excellent condition and shows no signs of any insect damage. The sporran has been cleaned along with the red leather sporran body, brown pinking (under the cantle). The silverplate cantle, silverplate tassel balls & silver-plate tassel chains, and the sporran belt leather & chains have been cleaned and polished.
The sporran has been used but not abused over the years since it was made. The patina is consistent with mid-century construction (I.e., heavy leather construction…not the leatherette-covered cardboard seen with import stuff); the fur, leather, and hardware are in very good condition. The sporran is fully functional for day or evening wear. The brass tassel chains are in excellent condition.
The sporran measures 9 inches long and 7 inches wide. The cantle is removable for cleaning/polishing and attached to the sporran body using the 3 original stud bolts, washers and nuts; the tassel chains are attached with original split rings; the Dewey snap closure is original and shows little wear and tear that can occur with heavy use. The sporran pouch is clean and fully functional.
