Peterson Hallmark Assistance

[ssjones]

I need some help identifying the date of this odd Peterson hallmark. It appears to be an S, but it is unlike any on the chart below. Most Peterson hallmarks also have the Anchor and Lion, then the date letter.

Al, not sure I understand. 2003... From Peterson's website,

All Peterson Silver Mounted Pipes carry three distinctive marks :
1.The Symbol Hibernia (Ireland) denoting the country of origin.

2. .925 is a new European standard mark denoting the high quality (purity) of the silver used.

3. The Date Letter Code for the year in which the silver was hallmarked and the pipe made.

Pre-EU would typically have,

Dublin town mark: hibernia

Standard mark certifying the fineness of metal: harp

Ah, you are right. That S looked too stretched out compared to he 2003 S on the chart but that fits.
