This oldboy is innarestin' just because of the GBD connection.
Pipedia sez thusly:
Reserved for the French market remained the even more favorable GBD brand Marcee, a derivative of Marechal Ruchon & Co. Ltd. that was offered until the 2nd World War and for another one or two years afterwards.
But thissuns got Britty hallmarkers, hmmm, mebbe they did sell 'em on the Emerald isle too?
Hard to tell iffits 1914 or 1939,

I'm leanin' toward 1914...

The R with arrow indicating to the user to remove the stem clockwise.
Pretty damn neat methinks!
First time I've ever seen a marking like that.
This ain't my pipe, it's currently on the big auction site.

Innarestin, but I bleeve it's 1939. On the 1914 mark, the hole in the loop of the "P" would plumb swallow the serif on the bottom of the "P," but this one don' do that.
