[QUOTE="sisyphus, post: 272193, member: 2514"] Les Wood stamped pipes are for the German market only, and they are all 9mm. They are sold through Dan Pipe. The 925 on silver bands stands for .925 silver content, which is the requirement for a silver product to call itself Sterling. As for the Barber B lines, I don't know. Dunhill has made a lot of pipes under a lot of names over the years, some not quite as equal as others. Afaik the Parker plant is still in operation, and I would wager that is where the Parkers, Hardcastles, and Barber B lines come from. The only non-Dunhill stamped pipes I've smoked that were of Dunhill quality were the Dunhill produced Astleys, which I would wager came from the same plant that turns out Dunhill branded pipes. They stopped making them around the turn of the millenium I believe. Those Astleys were excellent pipes and represent a good value. [/QUOTE]
