Dunhill Bruyere O (Bulldog) Question

[bluegrassbrian]

No year of production stamp on this babe. Anyone have some insight on why it may be?

Let's see an oblique shot of the tenon, and an end shot of the button.

Parted ways with the owner before I had a chance. I can probably get him to snap a couple pics.

Here's some tenon and stummel shots. Waiting for closeup on the bit/slot.

And the slot.

Definitely a real Dunhill.

The slightly irregular stamp characters together with the unusually heavy stamp application pressure, plus the 45-degree tenon shoulder and tall (for Dunhill) slot says 1975-78.

That's my best guess, anyway.

Mmhm the stamping gave me 70s vibes.
Didn't know if there was a known event that led to the exclusion - but seems like something that would have occurred at Dunhill in the 70s.
Probably dropped the stamp under the table and couldn't reach it.
