I recently was at a shop and they were selling an old Dunhill pipe. It was tucked in the back of one of their cases, but the marking were different then I had ever seen. It was a smaller straight apple shape, stamped DUNHILL and under that Paris. The stem did not have a white dot, but rather a very faint diamond with a D inside.
The shop owner claims that it is a world war 1 pipe, that was made in France, because they couldnt get briar in England. I was really wanting to take a chance on this, but was also nervous cause I have never heard this type of story before. He was asking two bills, so I thought I would check the net, but have had no luck. Any Dunhill guys out their that would have ever heard anything like this??
Sorry no pics, wouldn let me take pics inside the shop
