Yes they are Richard’s Sheffield England pipe tools i have a few different ones, different texture patterns on the handle and they have different blade shapes depending on when they were made it seems. I think i paid about $20 each for these and two of them are unused mint condition.Knife and steel tool production in Sheffield England goes back to the late 13th century I believe. There has been a multitude of cutlery makers based there over the centuries.
Your tamper is likely a modular design that various pipe and tobacco companies could have had their name and logo emblazoned on.
That is cool but I wonder if it would rust if you don't keep rubbing beeswax on it.I kind of dig these, but not for 50 bucks.

Created the first of these for a good friend. When others saw them, I ended up making many more! So, I thought you might like them, too! These are made from recycled and found steel. The ring is made from old cattle fencing I found on my 175+ year old homestead. The pick and scraper are made fromwww.etsy.com

OK, so there must be something going on here.
Has the seller miss placed the decimal point?
Or are these tampers made from platinum, or white gold?
