Thank you, Tommy for posting a picture of this set. I have never seen it before the only Citadel Cadets set I have ever seen was one made by American Brigade
(I enclosed a picture).Do you know a story behind this Trophy set? How many were made and for what occasion?

Hi Al: These sets were made for the Citadel with none for sale to anyone else. I think they may have been presented to alumni or visitors. My understanding is that Trophy made these sets for the Citadel for several years. I have seen one set for sale on ebay. I don't have any idea how many were made but I bet not many.

I did not know any unit in the whole United States carried bagpipes is this right? Why? Any info? "'Cause it sounds sweet" is not a good response for anyone who was thinking that

I believe Citadel figures are still being produced, under contract, by Ken Jackson.

U.S.M.C. and U.S.A.F. have pipe bands I beleive there is a U.S.A.F. sett. I also believe that the main reason why would probably be because of the amount of Scots and Irish (I know two drone) that have migrated to the United States ove the years. What suprises me is that you don't see Northumbrian pipers, considering the habit of people with a Northumbrian heritage of becoming president (Washington,Armstrong,Nixon, Ford) and of course Dixon of the Mason Dixon line!

Thanks, does anyone have any dates regarding this? So I also just did some research regarding Northumbrian pipes. I have never herd of them before...

Check out this article, it would value each figure at $2500 per figure based on donation....................now I like my Trophy, but not that much. That borders a little on ridiculous!

True, but even if you are at the highest tax rate fed and state, that still "ain't no bagin" as my friends up in the Noreast say.

Well... you are right..but I like double positive (yeh, right) more then double negative ... it would be quite a Trophy "challenge" to get this set (not from Ken ) : I have a couple ideas I am gonna try
Al

 

[Napoleon1er]

Wow. Now I would go to some high levels to collect a range I truly loved. But I think I might have to spend several months in deep meditation and contemplation before I "donated" a couple hundred thousand to them, even providing I could somewhat come up with even a part of that sum.

 

[Martin Tabony]

Just been talking to Ken, these figures are for alumni who would have been donating anyway. Aparently there is one figure where only ten have ever been made!
