Any of you Pete gurus be able to help me put a roundabout mfg date to this pipe? I’ve come up with late 30’s to late 40’s. Would like to narrow that down if possible. The Peterson’s stamp/font is different from what I’m seeing on Pipedia as well. There’s too many variables for my limited knowledge. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
PETERSON PIPE DATING
1875 ~ 1915 The Patent Era no country of manufacture stamping, COM

Looks like the Irish Made Army line returns May 6th. If there’s a p-lip option I’ll be scooping a few up but last time they were fishtail only iirc
Just purchased an estate Peterson from Blue Room Briars

New 20s today, this is my first 20s and it’s amazing!
Here’s a Dutch with Custom Acrylic Stem and NAPS bit that I received from a friend. It’s Made in Ireland so just before the clutches of the Republic.
Can’t wait to smoke it tomorrow.

Great job on the NAPS bit and stem!
After an extensive period putting up a valiant resistance, I purchased this Dark Smooth Lestrade (before someone else did). 
I'm currently waffling between the Lestrade and the Professor.After an extensive period putting up a valiant resistance, I purchased this Dark Smooth Lestrade (before someone else did).
BOTH are fabulous smokers.
I have both. But, if I had to pick one, it would probably be the professor based only on shape.Just get both.
The family grows.
I just got back from a conference in Boston, and I stole a minute and ran over to L.J. Peretti. Peretti now has an exclusive Park Square line made by Peterson. Until I started looking at these, I didn't know that Peretti held the exclusive import rights for Petersons in the 19th century. What a legacy! There's no fighting the PAD.
I told the owner Steve that I needed a Park Square, and he opened the cabinet on the wall and handed me this one. He said it had the best grain, and I absolutely agree.
The Park Square line has an aggressive sandblast, a unique stain, a vulcanite fishtail mouthpiece, and an L.J. Peretti stamp in the silver. This one weighs in at 1.10 ounces, making it one of the lightest in my collection. The chamber is about as big as my namesake 314. It shall burn some Peretti blends.

Lovely. What’s the grain on the other side look like? And what shape number is this pipe?
It's surprisingly difficult to photograph on this dark and rainy day, but I tried. It's a Shape 15.
A beautiful and great sized pipe!
