Happy Sunday, friends!
I was very kindly gifted this Comoy by a friend and fellow Dunhill collector. I had mentioned that I don’t own a Comoy and knew very little about them. This pipe turned up in my mailbox, as his way of introducing me to the brand. Quite an introduction! As I now have lots of learning to do, any experts here are invited to tell me anything they can about this beauty!
Nomenclature reads
ROYAL

COMOYS (no apostrophe)
LONDON

MADE (in an American football shape)

Thanks all! I’m excited to explore Comoy’s pipes and history now.

lightmybriar, NICE!
Royal Comoys are the precursor to the Blue Riband, so I am sure it is pre 1938.

London Made in a football shape also dates to the 1930's at the latest.

Congrats on a beautiful gift of a pre-war Comoy, they are some of my favorite pipes!

Thanks for the input, guys! Based on all I’ve gathered, including what donjgiles wrote, it seems pretty clear this can be placed in the pre-1940 era. Very pleased to add this to my lineup! Now I need to do some reading on the history of Comoy’s, so I can fully appreciate this pipe!

Congratulations! Unfortunately you may now come to realise that Comoy’s shapes are so special, especially pre-war pipes, that you will end up disdaining Dunhill pipes. And they tend to smoke better too.
Happy smoking

Filled the pipe with Escudo and we’re off! A very fine pipe indeed! Here are some shots of the nomenclature.
