A Star in a Tanshell?
This context of bringing to light the grain is relatively new, right? The Shell is "black" and it is not possible to see the grain. I read in somewhere that it was made with irregular grain... But, of course, I understand your point. Thanks.- forciori

A Star in a Tanshell?
I am talking to a friend, and he told me this: "because there were 'pits' in the grain... meaning it was not of 'the Root guality' for Dunhill." Interesting.- forciori

A Star in a Tanshell?
If it has a nice grain, why was it blasted? If it had a nice one star grain, why would it turn into a Tanshell and not in a D.R.? It doesn't makes sense for me. Curious, is not it? Thanks, Embers!- forciori

A Star in a Tanshell?
Guys, please... This pipe has a star next to the reference. So far, I've only seen stars in the Dead Root series. So, any idea what it is? Thanks!- forciori

A Dunhill Set (1925)
According to the story that I know, Alfred was already doing blasting tests in mid-1914 with Algerian briar, working together with the London Sandblasting Company. So it's not unlikely that another company was using in 1917. My point is: the patent is an official record, which in the end, is...- forciori

A Dunhill Set (1925)
This doesn't confirm anything. The patent does not guarantee that no one will apply the concept, it ensures that the credit has to be given to the inventor **if he claims the right**.

A Dunhill Set (1925)
It's possible, for sure. But we're talking about history and we can't denie the history with speculations, right? History builds with facts and the fact is: who registered the patent was Alfred. That's undeniable, that's history. You don't have to be negationist just because you don't like the...- forciori
