Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

Something about the stamping and the size and color of the spot on these made me think they were remakes or something.

This was my exact thought!!

Looks like the size and depth of blue from the later Claret and "Five Dot" pipes in the 70s or 80s. And the case isn't pre war either.

I had only taken a cursory glance and didn’t even look closely at the logo when I figured I wouldn’t even be in the running. I was unaware that one dots were made after 1939.

I believe they made them in the 80’s. They had several iterations of reissue. Plus they made them for the European market too

Yeah, circa 1978 tribute pipes, but most say specially selected while these say straight grain, so they are a little more scarce than the others.
