I was hoping someone could help with explaining the stampings on this pipe I have ordered. The 4 digit code is 3634 which the seller says is group 3 and the 34 means churchwarden, however my online searches of reference material does not confirm this. The main question however is the 03/01 additional stamping.
Another online retailer says that his pipes which such a stamping mean limited edition and that denotes the pipe number out of the total made but that does not make much sense.
Any help much appreciated.null

This is a very unsolid guess, but I think I’ve seen that style of stamping on pipes that are usually being sold in Italy or Europe, and oftentimes I’ve seen them on Dunhills that take a 9mm filter. Maybe that might aid in getting closer to the answer?

Thank you, yes both the vendors I mentioned are based in Italy. Both seem to have great feedback over a number of years. It looks like they have a bunch of new/unsmoked Dunhills from around 1999 so they may be from the estate of a collector?
