Wondering if anyone can help me with this Duncan pipe and silver marking? Picked up in a lot, and started to clean it up, and under the grime is a Sterling silver mark 925 and the initials L & JS in a rectangular cabochon.
The pipe is stamped 'Duncan' over 'Made in England', and on the bottom '171 Hallmark'.
I have tried Pipedia and Pipephil and the only tidbit I can find is the listing included, indicating that it was the stamp of former Dunhill silversmith Leslie Wood at Ferndown Pipes.
But... this is a Duncan... Did other brands ever comission his work? And there's so little info on Duncan briars around, I'd be grateful for any light you guys could shine on it!
