Pipe ID help?

[FishNChips]

I know its a long shot but I just got this bent dublin pipe. It seems like a nice quality pipe and I love the shape.

Out of my own curiosity I have been trying to find a possible maker but looking at the marks am guessing it could be a custom pipe as the marks are not what I would consider factory.

It is marked with a possible H and 76 which I am guessing is the year it was made. The stem has a hand carved smoke or flame pattern on it.

I appreciate any help!

My bet is that is a home-brewed pipe.

I agree. The shaping, finish and markings all scream homemade..

I am sure you are both right. In any case they did a nice job on it and I really like how it looks and holds. The acrylic stem feels nice in the mouth.
