A friend from a bamboo fly fishing forum recently purchased a Stanwell shape #167 and it has a leaping fish engraved on the bowl. While we think it is factory done there was some doubt on that so he asked if I could inquire if any were familiar, or had seen similar, with this particular pipe. Thanks in advance.

A numbered shape would have to be factory done, right? So the leaping fish must have been applied with the finish.

Today it would be a laser job, but depending on the age of the pipe, it might be carved by hand.

That pipe was offered on eBay. Nice looking and I think it was done by someone other than at the factory. Regardless, it is a fine job and a very cool pipe.
