Officers' full dress or "ball" sporran - white background, five gold tassles Officers' pattern badger head sporran SNCO/WOs' pattern badger head sporran Other ranks sporran - the "swinging six" that you refer to Pipers' sporran - grey background with three long black tassels. In addition to the above the Drum Major and Pipe Major wore a white sporran with three long black tassels and all ranks would, in certain forms of dress, wear the small leather-purse sporran. So, I make that seven different patterns at a quick count, none of which are a close match for the one shown in the OP. J |

I am now begining to think that that the old adage that you should never ask a Scotsman what he wears under his kilt should be extended to include what he wears on his sporran.

The Argyles were infamous for having so many orders of dress - my favourite was Officers' TEWT order which was kilt, DMS boots and puttees.
