These seem a bit of a mystery to me, they are by Accudart and on the top of the case it says Stephan Lord, on the label inside it says Stephen Lord.
The only player I know that resembles that name is the Swedish player from the 1970's early 80's Stefan Lord.
So I dont know if these are his darts or not, they dont look like the ones in the clip below, which is from 1983, but he may have had some different before that so it does not mean he did not have a set by Accudart, if any one knows then please help.

I'm not sure about the darts, but I believe the name on top of the box is how the Yanks spelt Stefan - so I'm fairly sure the box is genuine. The spelling inside is most likely just an error on whoever printed the paperwork.

He's been around long enough to have played with feather flights - but must admit that's what is making me unsure of the actual darts

The darts themselves look well used but the flights look too new to be of the same vintage

not sure if they were took over by another company, could still be there though?
I think Stefan Lord was playing as a young 19 year old in the mid 70's so its possible he may have used feathers but I dont know.

They have their mitts in a lot of different things. I have a Bear Bow and I never heard of Escalade.

Darren
I hate to tell you but those are not Stefan Lord darts.
I had a set in the late 80s and knew about 3 or 4 players that used the 25gr Version.
The Accudart Dart Stefan Lord looks more like the Tony David darts by Datadart the difference is the Lord darts are not as front load as the Davids they do have a slight taper just not as much as the Davids.
Sorry Mate
Cheers Bret

Cheers Bret, but I was suspecting they were not his as they look nothing like the ones in the video, just never knew he had Accudart darts though, so maybe the case is real but not the darts, makes me wonder where the original darts went, pity.
