Stamped 'Made in Denmark' and 'H.C. Andersen'
Not a Stanwell.
Not a Stanwell.
Photos of the nomenclature (stamping) please.
Those freehand Danes all look alike ?
Although your pipe is stamped "H C Andersen" it is NOT a Stanwell HC Andersen series shape (the ones with both churchwarden and standard stems).
I have not come across a Stanwell plateau-topped freehand shape that is stamped "HC Andersen" before.
You DID state "not a Stanwell"
According to Pipedia "There is no end of confusion about Mr. Andersen pipes, and perhaps Mr. Anderson pipes"
Sorry, I can't shed any further light on your pipe. Perhaps a Danish pipe collector can chime in.

Yes, same googling I did before posting here.
I knew nothing about Stanwells, but others insisted that this was one. A more knowledgeable friend told me several reasons why he was certain this was NOT a Stanwell, and they all make perfect sense.
It was probably made by an unknown 'Andersen' from Denmark. The stamp is so crappy that it could say 'H.O.' rather than 'H.C.'.

Haha. Yes, good to see you! I am trying to mosly post about pipes and pipe history, so I had to abandon 'your' forum - just nothing going on there other than "ate an apple, did my walk, smoked blah blah blah...". So I will post my esoteric stuff here and hope a few of the experts will find it at least somewhat interesting.
I smoked this pipe yesterday and it's quite a great smoker - I think it's that sharp upward angle of the shank, as I have a similar-design pipe that also smokes very nicely.
Is "a Dane" a particular style, or does it just mean made in Denmark?
My untrained eye is not really noticing a theme in terms of style.
They all look nice mind.

Made in Denmark.
The idea of shaping a pipe using the grain is often implemented.
Danes are some of my favorite carvers followed closely by USA. Here are a few Danes of mine:
Jess Chonowitsch
From Left to Right: Tom Eltang Arne Jacobson, S. Bang, Teddy Knudsen, S. Bang and on the end is a Barling Motordome (from England, It just happened to be in this picture
)
These things were from a recent auction so not all of them are Danes. Left to Right Brad Pohlmann, Ashton Old Church, Nanna Ivarsson, Another Nanna Ivarsson (I just love her pipes..) and a S. Bang The tampers are Ming Kahuna's work.

Thank you Mike Bay for carving the block that created this pipe. My first Lovat, a shape I've been wanting for a while but have been waiting for the right one to come along, this was the week.
Mike has been working out of Tom Eltang's shop I believe.
That grain and stain is drop-dead gorgeous!
Thank you! I agree, magnificent cross grain and pattern.That grain and stain is drop-dead gorgeous!
I was a bad boy at the Taurus Auction yesterday... Here are a couple new Danes I just picked up:
Anne Julie (very excited about this one as it's my first)
Jess Chonowitsch. His pipes smoke beautifully.
