London. England, 9436

"9436" stamped on the right side of the pipe matches the GBD shape number for a straight billiard. The "London England" phrase on top of the number would confirm a GBD origin for a pipe probably retailed by Salmon & Gluckstein Ltd.

[Per's signature]

Handmade, in Denmark

Sven Bang opened his tobacco and pipe shop in 1968 in Copenhagen. He was more a business man than a pipe carver and began to hire pipemakers. About half a dozzen succeeded each other in his workshop during the 1970's (Ivan Holst Nielsen, Jan Wideløv, Phil Vigen...). At least Per Hansen and Ulf Noltensmeier stayed and when Sven retired in 1983 they took over the company (in 1984) keeping its name.

In 1984 the "Copenhagen" marking was canceled and replaced by a "København" stamping.
