Actually, I was smoking a pipe and binge watching "Mindhunters" this afternoon with the wife and decided to clean up the pipes I got locally awhile back.

The guy that sold them wasn't a pipe smoker, but said that he cleaned them up...if he actually did, he knew how to do it right on the inside, the pipes were very clean, the outside suggested that the previous owner just treated his pipes well, but the still needed a cleaning. They are all great smokers, so I spent the afternoon hand rubbing tom's military gunstock wax on the briars and using Autosol polish on the stems.
The Saseini "Four Dot" (as opposed to "4 dot") means that it is from earlier production, from the "hurlingham" line, "Ruff Root"
Simply stamped "Made In London England"
Brakner Antique Hand cut 1041
Brakner Antique MM Hand cut 109
Navigator Made in Denmark 1253 A Pipephil tells me that this is a Kriswill seconds...after 1970 it would have had a star pattern on the side of the stem, so maybe this one predates that.
They sure came in decent enough condition, but a little time with the polish really helps.
