R.G. Hardie bagpipes, bought in Glasgow in 1966, sterling silver (thistle pattern) and REAL ivory mounts.  These are in the original case that was supplied to me by R.G. Hardie, and also have the original bag, reeds, blue velvet cover, etc.  HOWEVER, the bag is no good, there is one very tight hairline crack in the blowpipe stock, and moreover, most modern pipers would want to replace the original leather-flap one-way valve on the blowpipe with an up-to-date patent valve.  So, although everything will go to the buyer, this offering is essentially "sticks and stocks" at present.  While appraised at one time at $5,500, I understand that most buyers would consider these to be in the "fair to good" condition at best.    I estimate the cost of shipping to most USA destinations at no more than $50.00 including insurance, but will require the buyer to pay the actual cost of shipping and insurance.
