[QUOTE="monbla256, post: 195259, member: 2244"] Some nice looking pipes there. The blasted pipe I've seen called a "brandy" shape and your G&D looks to be what I recall as being called a "Yachtsman" by many of the British firms. I would imagine it is one of many "house brand" pipes made for shops back in the 60's/70s by any of the major pipe making firms. GBD, Comoy's etall would imprint a shop's name or a style range name on a range of shapes and sizes bought in pre-determined quantities for retailers. I have 4 very nice "Ranga" pipes which I bought from a shop in Dallas back in the 70's which were made for them by GBD. They have "Ranga" imprinted on one side with a GBD shape # and Made in England as GBD put on their pipes on the opposite side. Yours may be a pipe such as this. Looks like you have some more detective work ahead of you. Thank goodness for the web :P [/QUOTE]
