Jockbhoy67 Posted 15 September , 2019 Share Posted 15 September , 2019 (edited) Can anyone shed any light on when these sporrans were worn, It looks late Victorian/WW1 period to me, but i have no idea. Anyone have photos of a piper wearing this style. Any help appreciated. Cheers. Edited 16 September , 2019 by Jockbhoy67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FROGSMILE Posted 15 September , 2019 Share Posted 15 September , 2019 (edited) Looking into this further it’s apparent that it is in fact a standard pipers sporran of the RSF from 1881 to amalgamation with the HLI in 1959.

Ron Abbott Posted 16 September , 2019 Share Posted 16 September , 2019 Looks like a standard RSF piper's sporran. I always did wonder though why they chose to have them engraved in such an amateur looking manner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cockjock Posted 19 August , 2020 Share Posted 19 August , 2020 Hi Reference the large photo above of the pipe band I can identify all the metal items shown except the two badges on the cross belt above the buckle. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone help? It’s the second pattern of baldrick badge worn by pipers of the Royal Scots Fusiliers, which with its added grenade was different to the first pattern.
