Identify this pipe - horseshoe marking

[arlingtonpipe]

I have a pipe that I am trying to identify that has a horseshoe stamped into the underside of the shaft. Any ideas?

See if you can post a picture of it. There are a lot of collectors on this forum and I am sure some of them would have an idea of the maker of the pipe.

I moved this out of the classifieds section to Pipe Talk.
Pictures speak a thousand words, post a picture of said pipe and logo, that will help improve your chance of success.

Dan Knop (Lucky Pipes) uses a horseshoe stamp under the shank. He produces a very limited number of pipes though.

The two stamps appear different to my eye.

Not sure. Pretty pipe though!

To my eye, the stamps look pretty much identical, but the level of detail is limited. Looking at Dan Knop's Lucky Pipes Facebook page, the recent stamps look much more detailed, but there are some photos of a blowfish that looks a LOT like yours!!!!

I'd say Craig probably nailed it. The blowfish does look very very similar.

Thank you very much. I agree they are the same.
