Greetings! I recently acquired this Peterson 304. I really could use some help on the possible dating of this pipe. I have other Petersons and they all have Hallmarks so it's easy to figure out. This one only says K&P Peterson, Petersons System Standard, Made in the republic of Ireland.
I did search the web and read Mark Irwin's info and I also found a thread here where someone said that when Petersons are made for the U.S, they do not require a hallmark. I could not find anything from Mark Irwin on Petersons without a hallmark. It is an estate pipe and the seller had no idea of age, but they thought their Dad had it for at least 20 years.
Even if I had an approx age, that would be great. Thank you kindly.
