The great unknown

[fishnbanjo]

This doesn't happen often but here is a case where the maker of this pipe is one I can't remember. The logo is unique, it is an oval with what looks to be an anvil with the letters HC in the anvil and 80 below the logo. I can assume the 80 is the pipe shape which is a thick walled Poker Sitter and sports a three knuckle bamboo shank and Cumberland stem, it's a great smoker and I'm keeping it smokey with more Dunhill Dark Flake, if you can help with the identification I'd appreciate it.

Can't answer the question, but I love the pipe.

Check out pipephil.eu to see if you can find the logo.

Great pipe, a very high tone poker! I bet one of our Forums members steeped in esoteric artisanal pipes will know this without looking it up. Boy, I sure don't.

sablebrush52, that is the first place I checked but went unanswered, eventually it will come to me.

Banjo, I had to put my readers on the see it, but it looks like maybe it's a "G" instead of a "C".

Beautiful pipe, BTW!

markthelad, you may just be right! A quick look and you were correct, the maker is Holger Gunia, thanks for the assistance!
