Willmer Pipe Question???

[cachimbadeoro]

I have just acquired a Willmer pipe that is quite nice. It is not stamped with AB, A, AA, AAA or AAAA. The only stamping on it is the Willmer in script, under that HAND MADE and on the other side MADE IN ENGLAND. i'm not aware of the meaning of this stamping. I don't know of any other Willmer pipe that is stamped HAND MADE. Do any of the brothers know what this means?

I have two Willmer pipes marked as you describe, but instead of "hand made" they are stamped "hand carved". Evidently they're out there, just not as common as the smooths with the letter grading.

Would like to see a photo of yours.
