BTW, like many other manufacture in Denmark Svendborg used to stamp the pipes with the initials or the name of it's individual maker. (Not consequentely executed on ''each'' pipe, though!)

A little anecdote: Jan Harry, Detlef Seiffert's son, spent his holidays in Denmark with Tao Nielson at the age of 6 years. At that time Ilstedt had already left.
