Default Sporran

I am still trying to identify this sporran; posted initially in mystery unknown insignia but still remains unknown. May be a civilian item.
All thoughts appreciated.
Thanks
P.

Hi Peter
Although I know very little about sporrans, I have been involved in pipe-bands for many years and my first impression of this was that it is likely a civvie PB item. If military, the only 2 units I could think of would be either London Scottish or there was an Australian regiment with a PB and rampant lion badge. Again, as far as I can recall, I haven't seen any military sporrans with the 3 knobs on the cantle, always just a single one at the top or nothing.
Cheers,
Alex

Thanks Alex,
I am waiting to hear from the London Scottish Museum.

Liverpool Scottish ( Cameron) pipers ( white hair ) had 3 knobs.

Not London Scottish but still think too much of a military style to be civilian ( probably wishful thinking)
