DownUnder Kilt-Readers; Thanks for the Images & descriptions. Now that I know what was done, I'll see if I can retro-fit my Paki. Sporran with a snap flap to a working one.   To me, it is a shame that fashion/costs/ect. made the change from working cantle to half-a** ed snap/strap. It might be that our "Scotophille'' friends in India/Paki. can make these again, at a cost the buyer can bear.
With thanks
