Hey gang, just grabbed this old Dunnie. It is supposed to be from 1944 but I can't imagine Dunhill was selling pipes for general purchase in France of 1944, but what do I know. Any help is greatly appreciated. The Bulldog shape grabbed and the "Fabrication Anglise" sold me.
The pipe is stamped Dunhill over Shell Briar. Patent number is 417574/34 and Made in England has a Suffix of 4 that is underlined.
It reportedly has an original stem.
My understanding, limited as it may be, it that Fabrication Anglise ended because of the start of WWII.
They pictures are from the seller's listing.
