92nd Leather Sporan

Leather Sporran with 92nd Battalion badge

A 92nd battalion badged leather sporran in brown leather with two tassels and a 92nd Battalion badge, worn with kilt and uniform when out of the trenches. Standard issue by 48th Highlanders.

The sporrans are usually brown leather shovel pouches with simple adornment. These “day” sporrans often have three or more leather tassels and frequently Celtic knot designs carved or embossed into the leather. This style of traditional purse is convenient to use on a daily basis. This style is typically made entirely of leather, with a leather flap, front, and tassels. They are frequently embossed or hand-tooled with Celtic, thistle, or other designs on the flap and body, and fasten with a stud or hook closure.
