African Blackwood Dunbar pipes with chalice tops and brass ferrules, slides, and caps.
In appearance not my cup of tea but the price is under $600 for an ABW set of the highest quality, less than some Sialkot pipes sell for.

Here's a big-name pipe, Peter Henderson, possibly from the 1950s, when they were making some very fine instruments. A friend plays a Holy Grail set of Hendersons: full silver in Henderson's "dragon" (each-uisge or sea-beast) engraving, hallmarked 1957 as I recall. That set and other 1950s Henderson sets have an amazing tone.
What's odd is that this Ebay set appears to only be stamped in the Bass cord guide. Did Henderson do that? I'll have to ask my friend.
Anyhow not cheap, but just about the least expensive way to play authentic vintage Hendersons, unless you happen upon one of those amazing bargains pipers sometimes do.
