[QUOTE="Deleted member 2386, post: 518230"] Ah, that makes sense--I did think the stem in particular was in pretty decent shape for being that old, definitely less beat up than the stummel before Mike cleaned them both up. I'd compared the stem to my only other Dunhill, a '65 Zulu, and the tenon/stem junction looked about the same, making me think they were both original...but are they both maybe copies? Or did Dunhill stop doing hand cut stems at some point? Are there other things I should be looking for in terms of figuring out whether a stem is molded or hand cut? And really, thanks for lending your time and brain--one of the things I love about pipes is figuring out their histories. In terms of mysterious British pipes I also snagged an Inderwick's in the same lot, which I gather was a London tobacconist who maybe commissioned Comoy to make their house pipes...but will start a new thread for that!
