What a fantastic post! I think you are right on the money with your attributions. I am a WWII reenactor whose unit portrays the 7th Bn Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders; our reenacting fellows also include WWII Black Watch. Your friend has a most impressive collection of kit. I'm not as familiar with the Seaforths and Camerons as I am with the others, but I think you got it all correctly. Nice example of a South African manufacture helmet on the Cameron display--three holes in the rim for a desert havelock [neck covering cloth]. Very impressive. If you friend wants to sell any of the kit, especially the Argyll items, please PM me with contact info. Thanks again for the great post! Cheers!

Unfortunately I was unable to ask Ira about the uniforms, so on a couple of them I'm guessing

51st Highland Division, the Gordon Highlanders


The Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders


The Black Watch (1865 India campaign)


portions of the above uniform were worn by Ira when he piped at our wedding (also held at Hovander Homestead Park) in 1996.
Since we were Civil War reenactors we had an 1860's themed wedding:


back to the games:
The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders


The Seaforths
