[QUOTE="SocWorkerSmoker, post: 99383, member: 751"] Thank Frost and Yak. After reading both your posts and going back to the pipedia website, it looks like the pipe is post-merger. Because I found an advertisement identifying the pipe in a Comoy’s brochure in 1975 and Hacker mentioning the line in his book as being collectible I thought maybe the 3 C's might not have been on the French version or the pipe stem had been buffed so significantly that I could not see the 3 C's, and thus pre-merger. However, after looking at the original box it came in (ie, actually looking at the dang thing) I noticed it said that the pipe was distributed by Cadogan. So, there you have it. Post-merger. The Monaco pipe must have been in production pre and post merger. Oh'well. The GBD, however, I know is pre-merger because of all the tell-tale signs: brass rondelle and says "London made". Well, now I know for next time! Thanks again for the help Cheers Joshua [/QUOTE]
