HNY to you as well Rebecca

My rather uneducated opinion is that if the pike in the link bears the correct Rd. No. then it will have been made from a M.W. mould.            Of course that doesn't rule out the existence of a fake mould carrying the original M.W. Reg. No., but we'd need to have a previous known instance of this before accepting it as fact.

Happy New Year Paul and everyone.

The blue Pike in the link carried the correct Rd No.

Paul are we getting confused between Molineaux Webb and Heppell.

Still looking at Rebecca's Pike it looks OK except for the back to fins at the top and the tail , damage may account for that if large chips were polished out. AS for not carrying RD No not sure but very possible some were not marked.

yes Roy  -  I was  ......   won't say 'we', as it was only me getting it wrong, and have now amended my post - thanks for pointing out my mistake.                
I made my comments in the light of Rebecca's suggestion that the linked pike - carrying the M.W. Rd. No. -  might be from another manufacturer.

My dark green pike, the smallest size, was proven to be Molineaux Webb after comparing it to larger registered examples held by other collectors. What convinced us was the pattern of small dots on the underside of the base. Alas I don't have the pike to hand and didn't photograph that part at the time...
