Farkas Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 Hello gents i’ve got this pipers doublet... Its not as dark as it looks in my pictures. The buttons have the curved sides which i believe are Scots Guards. I’m hoping that is the case (?). if so can anyone help me date it? Cheers tony Detachable shoulder. Front pocket. Rear shows wear from belt i think.
muckaroon1960 Posted June 1, 2022 Posted June 1, 2022 Hi, yes does look like Scots Guards emblem and buttons are correct shape for pipers tunic. No idea as to age of tunic? 1
Farkas Posted June 2, 2022 Author Posted June 2, 2022 Thanks ? The only clue of it’s age i have so far is the buttons are no longer in use ?♂️? Sort of narrows it down... Cheers tony
Farkas Posted May 7, 2023 Author Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) I’ve just picked up an old buttons book and the only diamond shaped button is a pipers button of ‘The Cameronians’/‘Scottish Rifles’. The one illustrated had straight edges whereas mine has curved edges. I’m more inclined to accept this source than the other I saw previously describing it as ‘Scots Guards’. tony Edited May 7, 2023 by Farkas Spelling- Too many O’s…
