Perhaps this link will be helpful : FALCON HISTORY (smokingmetal.co.uk) Also, on the homepage there is an A-Z index with several links for information about Falcon pipes.
Nice find, it should clean up pretty good. I've used a Rodger's pipe knife also from Sheffield, England for years. I wouldn't be without one, they're indispensable.
I don't really find anything special about smoking a pipe, pipe smoking for me is just another medium for enjoying tobacco when it's convenient to do so.
