It seems quite reasonable and plausible. We can conclude that: the star, it seems to us, comes to point out that the pipe has the grain differentiating. But if it's a sand-blasting rusticate, what difference does it make? With proper polishing, the grain comes to light printing an odd configuration to the work-piece. | It seems quite reasonable and plausible.

Here we have many variables, we need to observe the whole scenario, because it depends on where it is graphed. For example, the "C " can indicate the model, in this case, a "Churchwarden" - if it is aligned with the pipe style. It also can be the "C" for classification of the series "OD" or the series "D.R". It can be a courtesy used in cases of replacements covered by the warranty period or complimentary, used as retirement gifts. In other cases, because it was a courtesy, they were not dated not to delimit the warranty period. There is also, the "C" of "Greetings" (with compliments) destined to British royalty. Let's see some examples: | |||

Another atypical marking, a small square that denotes that the pipe was manufactured on demand, with details and proportions defined by the customer. At the beginning of the 20s there was a marking with that same purpose, which was recycled years later in the post-war, was the "O.D", that means "Own Design", which turned into "Oversized Dunhill" decades later, during the WWII. Let's see example: | |||

|} | |||
From the beginning of the 20s (perhaps 1923, when - according to some, Dunhill began to fully fabricate its pieces) by the end of the 30s, some pipes were completely manufactured, i.e, without any kind of automation. These pieces received the following marking on the shank: "H.Wo", referring to Hand Worked. The Carved Heads and D.Rs, which were also hand-crafted, however, were within another classification and did not receive this marking. In Carved Heads case, they were "OD " from pre-WWII. | |||
