I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. "Santa" got me a couple pipes for a song and one has a lion in a shield logo with only "*NATURAL*" above "imported briar" on the shank. It is a square shank bulldog (?) and resembles very closely this one still on fleabay...

Though mine doesn't have the lion logo on the stem, it seems to go with the pipe. Alas, Santa didn't bring me any gosh darn batteries for my camera. Any thoughts or ideas are welcome.
