Well the wind kept blowing my matches out but I managed to get through a bowl of Abingdon in a GBD Virgin Colossus taper billiard ('60s or '70s manufacture I'm guessing); other than the domed top on the GBD, this pipe is identical to a Dunhill ODA #835). And for those interested in such things, in 1976 or "77 I was in a meeting with Doug Lumsden, the Comoy's rep for the mid-west, and he stated that GBDs and Comoy's were all made in the same factory...one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. I can't personally attest to this, but that's the story.
