I went to Chesterton's yesterday to both take advantage of a nice coupon I had, and to treat myself; I had been very ill for several weeks and wanted a new pipe and tobacco to celebrate my return to health (the irony doesn't escape me, I assure you).
I pulled the trigger on this fairly cheap estate because it had a gnarly sandblast, and I am glad I did. It is an excellent smoker, especially for the price I paid for it.
But neither I or the proprietor was sure of the make. I'm a terrible photographer, but I am including a picture of the pipe and its stamp. I can read nearly all of it. It says hand made and has the number 21 encircled at the bottom. Above that, it says studio, and above studio it has initials I do not recognize.
If anyone can help me identify it, I would be appreciative.![IMG_20240810_215123460_HDR.jpg IMG_20240810_215123460_HDR.jpg](https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/data/attachments/329/329439-baffd0e4c48404911c62df1623d184f8.jpg)
