This from the guy who wanted me to find out what brand of toothpaste Montague Barling used.

And the answer was …? ?

And the answer was …? ?

Montague Barling had dentures. He usually cleaned them with a soak in Oxy Clean followed by a wet sanding with 2500-3000 grit, topped off with a light coating of obsidian oil.

Pretty sure that big R stands for Root Briar...

From Pipedia: Finishing letters and group size: "S" for Shell, "T" for Tanshell, "R/B" for Redbark, "A" for Bruyère, and "R" for Root Briar. For example (4)S, (3)T, and so forth.

The pipe is part of a collection called The White Spot Collection, made of limited series of shapes replicated from the factory design charts of the 1920's. Yours is the number 0363 (I have the number 0255). The R means the shape Pot, tapered bit, showed for the first time in Dunhill catalogue in 1928 ( I have also a R, Shell briar, from 1966). So all good. Happy smoke!

Paolo already gave the answer, but yes; commemorative pipe.
R=Pot etc. Very nice pipe, congrats !
