Hello,
We too have an old sporran which, thanks to this forum, we have now identified as a Seaforth Highlander one from the badge. However, ours is somewhat different, being some sort of silver rather than brass, and without the honours. I can see no hallmark anywhere, sadly, but would be very interested to know more. It is possible it was bought in an auction at Sotheby's in 1989, and we are looking to have it cleaned and the tassels "re-plumped" as the sporran-maker calls it. Apart from a little hair loss, it seems to be in quite good condition. We are waiting to hear from Grandpa what family connection there is with the Seaforths, if any.
Any information gratefully received.
Jamie
