Poul Winslow pipe

[lefkios]

I have recently purchased a Poul Winslow pipe grade C through ebay, but the pipe has three dots instead of the traditional two and are positioned in a triangular shape (strange arragment for a winslow). Does anybody have an idea whats the case? Thank you and smoke in peace.

From pipedia.org:

"Old Winslöw-pipes are stamped with his name in big block-letter or in an oval. Now he has changed this and uses his symbol with a fancy pipe and the name WINSLÖW in small block-letters. There is also a difference on the stem between old and new pipes. Old pipes have one silver-dot on the stem (in some rare cases there may be 3 in the shape of a triangel) but on new pipes there are always 2 dots, one of them a little bigger than the other."
