I think the name of the Piper who's uniform it was was Ross, so perhaps someone might be able to date the uniform from that? I forgot to ask about the arm badge, but I did see a picture of the present day Queen's Piper and his uniform looked very similar, although I did note that the arm badge was missing and no pistol on his belt. As to the arm badge----a magnificent piece of work--- I am not sure if it is reserved for extra special events, or, it is now redundant.
