Tilt pipe

[Nature]

That is a unique pipe!
Does anyone know what makes it a "Tilt" pipe?

On a side note, what type of uniform is that in the background? Were you in the military?

Thanks Mark. I think the make is Tilt. On the top of the shank is a star shape logo with the wording "Tilt" inside. At the bottom of the shank is written "made in France" with "543" which I assume is the model nr.

The uniform in the background was my Dad's uniform. He was a Captain in the South African Police Force. I followed in his footsteps and am today also a Captain in the SAPS as is my sister and brother-in law. Our uniforms differ a bit from the one you can see here as our flag and police logo changed after 1994.
