Dear Sirs & Ladies, I need some original (non-posted earlier ) photos for my wife's website (about traditional clothing of different countries).
Please, if it is possible, send me to email. If you will, my wife can sign the photos with the name of the photographer.
Preferably, it could be several close-up and outfit photos with the knife.

If you are not Scottish, or have the dress knives of other countries, we will be happy to get your photos too.
I will so appreciate your help!

Hi OCR,

I suppose, Black Watch Pipe-Major, as SNCO, should wear officers pattern 10-buttons spats , correct?

regards,
Mikhail

You got me a-lookin' at some photos of Black Watch Pipe Majors and I can't find any that show the buttons clearly.

There is a photo of the PM and DM standing together and their spats look to be the same height, and you can see the DM's have 8 buttons (as I recall, I don't have the photo in front of me now). Seems that oftentimes the PM and DM share certain peculiarities of uniform in various regiments.

I do see the Officers wearing spats which are taller than those of the enlisted men.
