| h English (en) | In the past, some bands have been added over the stamps — evidence that it was a later addition, i.e, an after-sale addition. Contrary to what we believed, sometimes this type of addition was executed in the factory and approved by quality control, as Mr. Wood relates. This kind of band addition over the stamps does not occur these days. <br><br> <center><font size="3">[[File:Aspas-copy.png|40px]]'''In the factory, some pipes were mounted over the stamp, as quality control demanded. If the pipe was finished they would rather have the band cover the stamp rather than take the stamp out.[[File:Aspas.png|40px]]</font> Les Wood.'''</center> <br> <gallery mode="packed-hover" widths=160px heights=160px> File:Overstamps.jpeg|Band over the stamps File:3sgband.jpeg|Aftermarket Dunhill band, 18K (pipe from 98, and band from 99).

As far as he can remember, it broken just after he left Dunhill's around 1979. It broke, probably, around 1981). We talked about the existence of bands lacking a date code, but he had no information to offer. The reasons for these anomalies are presently unknown. <br> <br> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> |
| h French (fr) | Dans le passé, on a pu ajouter un cerclage sur le marquage – preuve qu'il s'agissait d'un ajout plus tardif, c.a.d après la vente. A l'inverse de ce qu'on aurait cru, parfois ce type d'ajout a été ajouté à l'usine et approuvé par le contrôle de qualité, ainsi que le rapporte Mr Wood. Cette façon d'ajouter un cerclage par-dessus les marquages n'arrive plus de nos jours. <br><br> <center><font size="3">[[File:Aspas-copy.png|40px]]'''A l'usine, certaines pipes étaient baguées par-dessus le marquage, comme le demandait le contrôle qualité.

Nous avons abordé le sujet des bagues auxquelles il manquait un code date mais il n'a eu aucune explication à nous fournir. Les raisons de ces anomalies restent inconnues à ce jour. <br> <br> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> |
