Calling the Comoy Wizards.

Forgot to add. The only other mark on the Sterling is “925”

No earlier than the 50s given the circular 'made in London' over 'England' and the pipe was likely 'for export' as it has no hallmarks on the band.

Good enough. That’s what I was thinking. Thank you.

The type of Made In London England COM stamp is associated with the 1950's, but the curved Comoy's stamp is associated with the 1930's thru mid 1940's. Ain't life grand?

Damn, where do you find these lovely pipes??? Very nice, whatever decade it’s from.

I believe the curved Comoy's used early had the apostrophe in the name. So,I'd say 1950's forward. I don't know why, but I rarely see a hallmark on Comoy's silver. I guess most were destined for the US?

I’d say your pipe dates from very late 1950’s or the 1960’s. The Deluxe Silver Mounted, which came in a Walnut and a Sandblast finish, first appeared in the 1959/60 edition of the RTDA annual, and continued to be listed at least through 1969. I’m missing the next few years, but the Deluxe model was certainly gone by 1974 (I suspect earlier). Based on the stampings I’m inclined to believe your pipe was made in the very late fifties or early sixties.
