I haven't logged on to XMarks in a while, and just came across this thread. I must add my own post in support of Tim and the House of Labhran. I have dealt with them off and on for some years, and have always gotten the highest quality and the highest service.

I just received 5 sets of Piper's cross belt sets of the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders for my reenacting group from House of Labhran, and I could not be happier with the quality and service. The pieces are museum quality, and just not available for love nor money from anyone outside of Scotland. I have several custom jobs outstanding with Tim just now, and the service just cannot be beaten. Do not hesitate to deal with this firm, they are the very top.
