Matheson Special Bagpipes

I can't tell you much about Matheson Special bagpipes except they seem to surface in Australia and New Zealand.  Here are a few shots of what I've found so help if you can!

What I'm looking at is fairly well-defined beading and combing with an unusual shape to the projecting mount and very small beads on the ferrules.  One owner has suggested a link to Starck.  Interestingly, a few sets have surfaced down under that are thought to be Starck however they don't conform 100% to the Starck bagpipes that I'm familiar with.
