For sure! I have been lurking here for a long time, always like seeing your Weaver related posts.

Of these, only the top left Horn and lower right Freehand (?) have a date. The Lovat does not even have his BAW on it but I purchased it from SP so I believe it is a Weaver. The lower left was listed on SP as a very early pipe and has a pre-made stem. It has the BAW but no date.

I have had other Weavers but sold them years ago. Probably my biggest regret as it relates to pipe smoking.

The lovat was his personal favorite shape to smoke and looking at yours, there's not a doubt in my mind that that one is one of his. Beautiful collection!
