Another eBay Pick Up GBD Sterling Silver

[uperepik]

Pretty excited, picked up a few pipes on eBay over the weekend. One of which is this GBD I would love to get some info on. There's no Series stamp, has the MRC hallmark. It's is from the London factory. From what I gathered there's a long time span it could be from. Can't wait to get it home and clean her up.

Oh man, what a pretty find! Bet a jeweler's cloth will clean that band right up! :clap:

Nice score. Post the aftershots when it’s cleaned up. That’s a 1941. Most from this era were simply stamped GBD without a model name.

 

[uperepik]

ok I had to delete my dumb question

 

[dmcmtk]

So what time frame are you thinking, 1941 is that the shape number

The London hallmark date code F, 1941. Nice old pipe!

That's going to be really sharp cleaned up!

 

[ssjones]

Is there a shape code number on the other side? Most of those on silver hallmarked GBD's start with an R.

 

[uperepik]

No shape number

What a beautiful, classically old school GBD billiard!
Love that ancient English briar.
Great pick.
