A close friend and I have recently decided to take up pipe smoking. As I did some homework trying to pick a respectable pipe I went ahead and bid on (and won) a pipe from ebay that was labeled as a peterson kildare 89s. My limited amount of research said that peterson pipes are quality and relatively inexpensive pipes. However, upon further inspection of the images of the pipe that I had won, I noticed markings on either side of it. One side marked "Mark Royal Diplomat" and the other "Made in London England". This threw up some alarms since Peterson is located in Ireland. The seller was obviously mistaken in their description of this pipe (I have already contacted them asking to return it). However, out of curiosity I'd like to know what this pipe is. In advance, thank you for your input.
