    It's common for old pipes to be what we call FrankenPipes whether or not they saw military service.

    I once had an old set that had bits of perhaps four different sets present.
    I currently have two such sets of pipes, but I don't believe either are old enough to have seen military service. A set of catalin mounted mostly Robertsons that were my first set of pipes and a set of ivory mounted Lawries which I've only just picked up & have yet to set up & play.

    We watched a vintage film, I WISH I could remember the name, that showed just this. When they came under fire, the piper dove into a shell hole. Husband videoed the screen for a GIF, but I cannot remember the name. I THINK it was a WWI movie.
