Plucked this off my local auction site. From what I can tell it is possibly pre-war. Since it doesn't have a patent number (as in the case of the pipes shipped to the US), I assume it was made for sale in Britain/Europe where Mr Dunhill's legal challenge to the use of the single dot was less successful than in the US, and production continued for longer. According to Pipedia the 'fishtail' stamping pegs it as being made during the tenure of Mr Sasieni Sr. before his son took over in 1946. Any assistance in narrowing down further would be very much appreciated.
The before pics were cropped from the auction page, so not great quality, but I think you'll get the general picture. Best part? Got it for the equivalent of under 15$. Thanks for looking.
