Mark McM Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Gentlemen, Can anyone shed some light on the significance of the numbers 18 13 / 63 presented on this pipe?
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Hi, It would probably have something to do with the runup to this.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Schleswig_War All the best Chris
speedytop Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Hi Chris, I think, that it is in remembrance of the 18. Oktober 1813: "Bei der Entscheidungsschlacht der Völkerschlacht bei Leipzig können Napoléons Truppen der Übermacht der Verbündeten nicht mehr standhalten. Sie ziehen sich in die Stadt zurück, die sie am Folgetag unter Verlusten räumen müssen." Uwe
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Ach! Yup, I missed that, your are probably right. Best Chris
Mark McM Posted January 3, 2017 Author Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) so, this a 50 year anniversary pipe? Edited January 3, 2017 by Mark McM
Mark McM Posted January 3, 2017 Author Posted January 3, 2017 Thanks! It's nice to find a piece from a veteran of the Napoleonic campaigns!
