The joys and dangers of Ebay pipes

[OC Richard]

Here's a set where I'm going to grab some popcorn and watch the bidding.

Glorious silver & imitation ivory Gillanders & McLeod

Back in the 1980s a guy in the band bought a new silver & ivory set just like this and the sound was wonderful.

He told me that old Bob Gillanders did the engraving himself, while sitting in front of the telly at night!

And here's an obviously Pakistani set, though with a Scottish-made chanter inserted.

All I can make out from the stamp is "O".

If we knew what letter was before or after the O, or how many letters total there were and in which place the O was, we would probably know.

For example

_ _ _ _ _ O _

could be MacLEOD but

_ O _ _ _ _


could be FORFAR.
