 c. 1915 R. G. Lawrie, Glasgow.  Gorgeous example of a "Silver & Ivory" Lawrie bagpipe from, arguably, the peak of the firm's success with John MacColl at the helm of their bagpipe making division.  The bagpipe is in ebony, and while pipes like this are often referred to as silver & ivory, and rightly so, the silver on this set is not hallmarked, and while it exhibits beautiful engraving, and a bright shine, it is likely a high quality plating, as was quite common with Lawrie bagpipes of this era
