Pipe set is a mashup of pieces from different periods.. seems like could be Lawrie for some.

Tenor drone bottoms…possibly early enough for claim. Thin top projection mount with round edge.
...

The set sold for just over $600.
Here’s another listing for the same set of pipes (new). Listed as “African Black Wood” …not African Blackwood. The color of the wood does appear black. This seller...

1 day to go and the high bidder has fled and retracted their bid.

All of this is true…
I spent a few minutes using “Sialkot engraved silver bagpipes” to do a Google search for images. It did not take long to find black coloured pipes that match (not including...

The bead count for the eBay pipes lower drone pieces is 7 for bass, 4 for tenor. Up to 2000, Hardies had 8 and 5, respectively. New/contemporary Hardies have 8 and 4 respectively.

I asked the seller to look at the color of the bores. He sent back a message that the color of the bores matched the out color.
Now this gets interesting…

There's no way the pipes were made by Hardie...details of combing/beading, and drone contours do not match Hardie present or past. No amount of bantering back and forth can make this set of pipes...

I would offer $35 for the wooden box; $25 for the pipes.
The pipes would make a nice wall ornament.

Includes misc, but authentic, bits and bobs and an old wooden case !

A bonus --> you also get an old kazoo!

Seller calls it a "Victor" set. Bits and bobs from the parts bin? Could be interesting.

I have a set of pre-1910 Lawries with a early MacDougall-style bass bottom with marine ivory. The story...

The Robertson mounts are a silver alloy. Less silver content than sterling and soft enough to work the engraving and reposse’ work. Enough silver content to shine like silver; without worry of...

Sometimes sellers try but fail for accurately listing their items. Here's a set of 1980s Hardies - flat combing/beading with marbleized-imitation ivory. Seller listed this set as Pakistan origin...

Thank you good sir. The funds have been sent.

I would like to purchase this item.

Yes...Thomas Ebbutt was taken over by Hamilton Inches in 1977.
Back in the days of TE, the handles were made of pressed/molded horn. The handle of your Sgian Dubh is a molded composite material...

The eBay seller described this as a sporran...no mention of fur type.

The back of the sporran is a bit different with the stud closure and flap...versus the usual top opening to the bag.
There is no access to the bag on this white fur sporran.

The gold-lettered stamp on the lower back is the typical "Made in Scotland, Real Leather"

the pics of full front, back and cantle are in the first posting

thank you all in advance of responses

I could not resist this on eBay....
Cantle has 'Made in Scotland' stamp like WE Scott make. Fur is white, cantle and hardware including tassel balls are silver plate. When I received, was...

Would you be so kind and post a pic of the buckles?
