Hi All,
There's one of the recently restored pipes. The stamping says "A", "DUNHILL LONDON". "*", "MADE IN ENGLAND PAT № 1343253 /20", "107". The dating is a bit complicated - there's no year suffix. Pipephil states it can be either 1927 or 1941. I am in a doubt so far: there's no "Inner tube" stamp (typical for older Bruyeres) but the pipe says "PAT №", not the "US PAT", what refers to a time before 1934. Any advices and suggestions are strongly welcome.
