Re: Ebay Items
My initial reaction was that it is a Pakistani-made set (particularly the bellows). However, on reflection, it looks like some Robbie Hughes sets I've seen.

Re: Ebay Items
I wouldn't rule out it is actually a Ginzo. And it looks like someone did a hatchet job to shorten the mainstock.
My brain hurts

Re: Ebay Items
Yes looks like set made by Robbie Hughes or similar maker Brendan O' Hare and maybe bellows by Jackie Boyce.
If you search on uilleann pipes obsession for Robbie Hughes or Brendan O'Hare you see sold pipes with similar looking pipes and bellows.
The Mainstock look like has no drone switch and the brass cup has slipped.

Re: Ebay Items
Pipes and bellows definitely made by Robbie, the bag doesn't look like one of his though, neither does the positioning of the stocks.
From the turning and ornamentation I would guess late 1980ies.
The outside leather hinge on the bellows as well as the hose connector might be a later addition.
Whatever happened to the main stock, I don't know, this certainly isn't original - to me, the ferrules don't look like his work either.
BTW, does anybody know if Robbie Hughes is still with us?
