I would start searching http://www.mkelaw-pipes.com/, http://www.smokingpipes.com/, http://www.briarblues.com/, http://www.pulversbriar.com/index.html, http://www.smokershaven.com/estatepipes.aspx, http://www.twofriendspipes.com/pipes.html, http://www.walkerbriarworks.com/html/consignment_pipes.html, and http://www.neatpipes.com/ now. It may take a while to find a 1947. There are some other sites out there but I frequent those the most. There is always eBay, but some don't like that. Just know your seller and make sure they have a return policy and you'll be fine.
If I wanted that specific an estate pipe, I would contact a few of the bigger vendors directly (Marty Pulver, Briar Blues, etc), give them a deposit, and ask them to hunt one down.

Do a search for a "1947 Dunhill" on Ebay and then "save" that search. Set it for daily updates and you'll get an email anytime someone lists that year Dunhill. It works very well, I have 10 searches and get updates several times a day.
Inst I will keep an eye out for you, I"m always hunting and pecking looking for pipes, I only got 1 40s Dunhill they are sometimes hard to find, I lucked up and got a 1944 the war years quite rare I"m told, but I will look out for you. The old cajun
Inst I believe you should have a number after the Patent like this on the end /34 7 I have a 44' my stamp is 34/ 4 I believe I am right in this the seller in his description did not include the'7 on the form that says contact seller ask him if it has a 7' The old cajun
Thanks flintlock. Actually, I'm holding off till finances permit. Dunhill was the only pipe company to stamp a date, albeit in code (google John C. Loring), its pipes. Hence the Dunhill birthday pipe quest. Other pipes can be dated only to a general time period.
