The Dunhill developed a seal to assure its customers that the service had been executed at the factory. Here we have two examples: the first, with seal and label (Bruyère 1965). The second, only with the seal.
Dunhill mit au point un sceau pour garantir à ses clients que la révision avait été faite à l'usine. En voici deux exemples : le premier avec un sceau et une étiquette (Bruyere 1965). Le second, avec le sceau uniquement.
<blockquote><q>A SEAL is attached to every Dunhill Pipe after it has received attention in the Dunhill Factory</q></blockquote>
<blockquote><q>UN SCEAU est attaché à chaque pipe Dunhill après qu'elle soit passée à l'usine Dunhill.</q></blockquote>

We were talking to Mr. Leslie Wood to resolve some controversies about the application of these gold and silver bands. Leslie "Les" John Wood worked for Dunhill in the '60s. He started in 1963 in the Dunhill silver mounting department and left after 19 years. He ran the department with 3 other collaborators. They were given trays of 30 pipes at a time and put silver or gold bands on them (mostly silver). His last position was as master silversmith. Following his tenure with Dunhill, Les formed his own brand, L. & J.S. Briars, together with his wife Dolly, in 1978. Les Wood follows Sasieni, the first ex-Dunhill worker to start their own enterprise, and he was followed by William John "Ashton"-Taylor. After he left his job at the Dunhill factory in the beginning of the '80s, Dunhill decided to outsource this work. During the transition process, Mr. Wood acquired all of the machinery (which is still operable to this day) and he was contracted to make Dunhill bands at his workshop until 2008.<br>
Nous sommes allés discuter avec Mr Leslie Wood afin de tirer au clair certaines controverses quant à l'application de ces anneaux d'or et d'argent. Leslie "Les" John Wood travaillait pour Dunhill dans les années 60. Il a débuté en 1963 au service orfèvrerie de Dunhill, et l'a quitté 19 ans après. Il a dirigé ce service avec 3 autres  collaborateurs. On leur donnait des plateaux de 30 pipes à la fois et ils les garnissaient d'anneaux d'argent ou d'or (le plus souvent d'argent). Son dernier poste fut celui de maître-orfèvre. Après son activité chez Dunhill, Les créa sa propre marque L. & J.S. Briars, avec sa femme Dolly en 1978. Les Wood suivit en cela Sasieni, le premier ancien de chez Dunhill à créer sa propre entreprise, et il fut suivi par William John "Ashton"-Taylor. Après qu'il eut quitté son travail chez Dunhill au début des années 80, Dunhill décida d'externaliser cette tâche. Durant la période de transition, Mr Wood fit l'acquisition de tout le matériel (qui est encore utilisable aujourd'hui) et il passa contrat pour fabriquer les cerclages des Dunhill à son atelier jusqu'en 2008.<br>


The silver used in these bands is 925 and the gold range from 9K, 14K, and 18K. Usually, pipes come out of the factory with these bands, but can be added on-demand from customers. This original bands always carry at least, an AD mark (in a diamond frame) and 925 for Sterling silver. Sometimes, the silver band  does not have the full assay office hallmarks (which are not required if the silver weight does not exceed 7 grams)<br>
