Dunhill Root Date

[PipeMarc]

Curious if someone can shed light on this Dunhill for me. Friend of mine says it’s a 1965/66 production. From my research I’m dating it closer to 1971/75. Who’s right?

Thanks!

The great thing is Dunhills can be dated exactly. Mostly....
I just bought this one, also a Root Briar, that I date to 1964, but the five indicates it was sold in 1965.

This pipe is being sold from a very reputable seller who is advertising it as a 1965 production. I have a message into them but wanted to get some other opinions as well.

Thanks for the confirmation friends. Indeed a ‘71

This is very similar to mine, 56 Root Briar, 1965 date but sold in 1966 (second, stand alone stamp).
