    GBD Enquiry

    Many thanks. If you have a copy of the book you recommend could you possibly give me the ISBN number which will make it easy to get hold of? I you don’t - not to worry - I’m sure I can track it down.

    That’s a beaut! I don’t know if there is a connection between GBD and Charatan - both made some grand pipes!

    Yes - I trawled through his website collection but couldn’t find anything like mine! I might have a rarity - I don’t know! I’ll keep smoking it anyway - it’s a dream!

    Hello from Central London.

    I can’t find any information regarding this on Pipedia or anywhere else. The shank is stamped with the GDB logo and the bowl is stamped with the number 13. I acquired it sometime in the late seventies / early eighties as I recall.

    Hello from Central London.

    FB group I contribute to most is ’The Gentleman’s Pipe Smoking Society’. I chose a good day to hook in here as its International Pipe Smoking Day! I’ll do all the profile editing stuff shortly. Very good to meet you.

    Hello from Central London.

    Very glad you enjoyed this fine city! If I’m kicking my heels I love the trip on the river bus to Greenwich and the National Maritime Museum to while away an hour or two running Lord Nelsons famous battles on a big table-top computer!
