Nice. You can compare the third hallmark on the right with the chart contained here to determine the year of manufacture:

Judging by the letter and font it looks like 2006. Not as old as I expected but no biggie. Looks like a nice pipe and has the 925 band. Good stuff! Thanks for the info!Nice. You can compare the third hallmark on the right with the chart contained here to determine the year of manufacture:

Yeah, you gotta be careful. Those things are crafty...
A pouch of Half & Half, 4 oz. of Edgeworth Match, and a bundle of BJ Long pipe cleaners (I'm almost out) from WV Smoke Shop.
The shipment has arrived! No idea when I'll have a chance to break into the Edgeworth. Possibly after dinner tonight or on Wednesday.
6 tins of Solani Aged Burley Flake and 3 tins of Reiner Gold.
50g tin of Escudo (always have some in the cellar)
100g tin of Drucquer & Sons Loch Ness (never tried it, but heard good things)

Now, I'm waiting on twenty (20), Cuban Partagas Capitols (vitola: Mareva [Petit Corona]...5⅛ x 42…presented in 5 cigar tins…hope they have some 'age' on 'em), cigars.
Background Info - “The Partagas Capitols – part of the Partagas Línea Retro [love everything cigar Retro] are Mareva sized cigars (5 ⅛ inches by 42 ring gauge) presented in a stylish metal tin. The tins are an elegant touch, a charming 70s aesthetic which reminds us of a golden age of cigar smoking, but also serves a very practical purpose. The cigars will smoke for about 35-40 minutes; the tins will keep them (and any similar sticks you wish to replace them with afterwards) protected for far longer”.

Scored two dr grabow vikings today. Been looking at them for a while but never was able to find one in decent shape that was where I wanted for the price. This pair ticked the boxes. The plating looks good on both. Two different bowls as well. One more classic and a orange bowl (my favorite color haha).
May have went a tad overboard the last few days 
. Couple more vikings won, a peterson tankard, a p&c order coming, and two more bones... the tankard may be a bit more rough than I thought and go back but I will know more when it arrives.
