The set of pipes being offered here is ready to ship now!  This pipe has been identified as a set of Peter Henderson bagpipes from their combing, known history and markings.  These pipes are marked, "P.Henderson" in the cord guides.  These pipes are known to be of early 1950s vintage, are made of African blackwood, and have engraved, "Thistle" pattern, Hallmarked, Sterling silver projecting mounts, ferrules, ringcaps, slides and mouthpiece.  These pipes are in absolutely immaculate condition, having undergone a full cosmetic refurbishment, and are free from any defects, warps or cracks in the blackwood, or the engraved, Hallmarked, Sterling silver mounts.  The African blackwood on these pipes has been buffed and polished rather than varnished giving these pipes a beautiful matt finish! 
 
 
These pipes have been played and tested by myself, over the last 2 years.  As such you are guaranteed these pipes have been well looked after and regularly played!  These pipes are completely original but have had the engraved, "Thistle" pattern, Hallmarked Sterling silver mounts added.  The Hallmarks on these pipes are for Edinburgh and bear the sponsor's mark, "PH" together with the date letter for, "2008".  (Every individual ringcap, slide, ferrule and, the mouthtube, are individually Hallmarked.) 
 

All in all this is an excellent vintage pipe with the quality of tone that can only come from an aged set of Peter Henderson pipes! The tone of these pipes can only be described as "Outstanding!" If you've been looking for an exquisite looking, and sounding, vintage pipe this is the type of item you should be looking at!  These are truely an heirloom quality set of Peter Henderson pipes!

These pipes come as a set of sticks [drones & stocks] only, as it is thought these pipes will only be purchased by an experienced piper with his own choices in respect of bag, reeds, etc.  However, should additional accessories be required these can be supplied at cost.  Accessories you may wish to consider are:
