[QUOTE="Puffer Mark, post: 450729, member: 3593"] Thanks Al. Yep it's pretty much exactly as shown in your pics, and don't you know it, after very close inspection it has a very faint semi circular stamp at the bottom of the stem that could very well be "Tuskan Lip". Other than that it has the usual oval GBD stamp over New Standard in cursive on the left of the shank, the GBD rondelle inset on the stem, and LONDON ENGLAND (not Made in England) over what is presumably a shape number, 3293, on the left of the shank. I do now find some references after having been set to rights on the correct name, i.e. twin bore. So if I understand correctly, the idea is to strengthen the button by some reinforcement as apposed to spreading/redirecting the smoke as the case with the P-lip. I notice that the centre slot of the two you show seem to be blocked up whereas this ones is open and takes a cleaner. Thanks again, and cudos on your encyclopedic knowledge, sir. Perhaps I'll post a pic or two once it's cleaned up. I only have a crappy cell phone camera to hand at the moment. M. [/QUOTE]
