I am quoting from the description of a similar sporran sold by troglodyte recently:

"there is a raised padded flap and a raised bar following the line of the pouch. with...

And it's made by?

Be careful there are at least a couple of miss-labled pitures

My understanding is that modern trews unlike trousers only have seam on the inside of the legs. Trousers generally have seams on both the inside and inside of the legs; quite often there is a...

"Two gents" is a little understated for two of the most significant pipers of the 20th Century. On the left is Wee Donald (Pipe Major Donald MacLeod MBE) and the right Capt John Maclellan MBE

Hi Scott

Welcome back too - and I hope you're feeling much better

Does anyone have a contact number they could let me have for Scott Huber/Artificer as I haven't managed to get a reply to the emails I've sent over the last month or so?

Thanks Marshall - I've tried all the email addresses I have and including this site, his site and my address book but no response. I can appreciate that his RSI will be very upsetting and I'll keep...

I've tried emailing Scott a couple of times or so but not had a reply which is not like him at all. Of course we know that he is suffering from RSI which is a tragedy bearing in mind what...

The simple way to see is to go direct to the Dalvey web site: http://www.dalvey.com

One of the reasons that most pipers don't know the maker of their pipes is that they are not marked or normally only the chanter is and that is removable. A second reason is that the pipes of one...
