Of course there are exceptions and we have included images of a Barling pipe with 1922 hallmarks that clearly shows an “EL” stamp and a “MADE IN ENGLAND” stamp.  While one is tempted to speculate that the sterling band could have been placed on a much later pipe, the “BARLING’S MAKE” stamp is correct for this period. (User Tad Gage notes an "EL" stamp is not clearly evident in thany of these photos, and the use of this grading at this date would be inconsistent with any examples -- in fact, unique in his experience).
