This statement is incorrect, ome sees this plain SASIENI marking on other family era pipes, see FRIAR, CANADIAN, etc."Sasieni" is not in script, florid or not. This makes it a later (current) non-family era machine made pipe.
Yes, but the Football shaped COM was ONLY used in '46-'79 or Patent era pipes and never after (well, an exception is the 8-Dot Specially Selected reproduction made in '79).Al, family era Sasieni pipes did not always have a football shaped " Made in England". Many had "London Made" over "Made In England" in straight block letters. That mark works for Comoy's, but not always with Sasieni.
