So while on vacation today, I stopped in an antique store in middle-of-nowhere-small-town Utah and I came across this:

It's a Dunhill chestnut bent apple based on the 5213 stamped on it.
Can anyone tell me its year? Also, right after the "Made In England" stamp, there is a very small 25 or 26 stamped on it. What does this mean?
I'm guessing the stem isn't original. If not, can I get a replacement to match the original?

The reason I thought the stem might not be original is because the only other Dunhill with the 5213 number I could find had a black stem. I actually think the stem looks pretty cool.

The 4 digit number, 5213, breaks down like this:
5 = chamber size

2 = saddle stem

13 = bent apple
There's nothing in that model number that signifies a specific stem finish. This looks legit to me.

I would also say the original stem. See more here in the section about Finishes,

Not sure why I waited until just now to remove the price sticker. There's a white dot on the stem so you guys called it right.
Can't wait to get it home and give it a nice clean and shine and then maybe run a bowl of Nightcap through it.
