A nice 2 pipe set I recently aquired.Currently on their way to be restored.
Hallmarked for London 1919
I have no idea of the maker.The silver mark is A.B
I know @jguss posted some information re Elstone in another thread but I am interested in anything else I can find.
Incidently the pipes mentioned in the thread are currently for sale on ebay Germany

Lovely looking pair of pipes! ?
From the photos looks like an easy clean up rather than a restoration job?
yes Simon I agree.I have sent them to be cleaned and what ever is needed.
The stain is dull so needs some sanding and other work ,and it looks like the rest is probably sanatizing and general grime/tar removal.
the stems are stuck on both pipes so I am told ,so that is the first job.
The pipes were bought in England and sent to a UK restorer,when finished I hope to get them brought to me in Greece via any friends that visit later in the year.
I will post updated photos when the work is completed.

Looks like a Delacour mark to me. Also a really nicely shaped pair of pipes. Nice score!

EDIT: The Delacour marks also often have a J•D as well but the similarity is striking in the original A•D mark.

because of the poor pictured the silver mark looks like A.D but is actually A.B
So I dont think Delacour

Great result.

He has done a lot of work for me and is very good and competitively priced.
It was him who made the replacement acrylic stems for the meers I have recently aquired/posted.
Also one of only 2 I know in the UK

Thanks for the information. Good to know.

I have bought a few estates from the EstatePipeShop and his pipes are very well presented and he is very upfront with disclosures of even small problems.

yes ,i too have bought several pipes from him and had very good experiences.
Unfortunately since Brexit I get hit with import taxes so more expensive now
But not his fault
