An Odd Dunhill LBS? Mar 4, 2016 18:34:06 GMT -5

Am I wrong, is the shank on this LBS on the short side for that shape? Note, I am not suggesting foul play. Actually given the double date stampings, I wonder if the pipe was repaired by Dunhill or an authorized repair outfit.

Still a nice looking pipe, but I would think the proportions are certainly off for something that would be coming out of the Dunnie factory.

The pipe is right, but pushing the boundaries of its shape code. I mistakenly thought the LBS was longer than the LB. Live and learn, then learn some more.
