I have what appears to be a 1961 Dunhill Opera with a stamping that I am trying to identify. I have attached the original link that I posted instead of rehashing it. Hopefully it works.

However, the stamping I am confused about is what appears to be 15- beneath the shape number. If it is not an 15- or a IS-, I was thinking it might be a -51 if, for some reason, I was reading it upside down.
Any help would be appreciated.

It does look more like a 51 to me. These stamps can drive you crazy sometimes.
Yes, the more I look at it, the more I think it makes more sense for a hyphen 51, but that completely perplexes me. It has become one of my favorite pipes and I would love to know what this stamp means, but for now, the mystery continues.
