There are several 3-digit shape numbers that date all the way back to the 1920s. The 120, 482, 127, 253, etc.

Yep! Just like that one. I’m convinced this is a Shape 35, with the 6 meaning that it has a saddle stem. For example, the Cherrywood Shape 475 has a tapered stem, and a 6475 is the same pipe with a saddle stem. To reinforce that conclusion, I’ve only ever seen Shape 35 come in Group 3 size, and since yours is as well, this conclusion fits nicely.
lmb, you are amazing, this concludes so many questions :worship:
If you now please would be so kind as to date it for us :mrgreen:

I wish I could date it for you 
My best guess is 1955-1969. That’s not ideally specific for a Dunhill, but that’s pretty good for an old pipe!

Yes, but vague. You are correct about the faint E .
Could be re-stamped, but no date code. Perhaps it "vanished" under the re-stamp .
