Beautiful and rare Dunhill pipe for sale. Root Briar Freehand dating back to 1976. You can see "17" stamp right next to "16" stamp. This refers to one-year guarantee policy they had, so they stamped both years on the pipe. During 1970s Dunhill issued a very small number of large Freehand shape pipes carved in the Danish design tradition. When pipes showed fine grain, they were stamped with "S/G" which stands for Straight Grain, such as this one does. They were also graded, just like with their DR (dead root) series. This pipe got 2 stars grade. First thing you notice about it is its size. Spacious chamber, thick walls, massive look and feel in the hand. Bottom narrows down to pointy end, which makes this pipe suited for hand more than a stand. Plateau finish on rim, black and orange stain combo. Bowl is entirely covered in straight grain, strong contrast and it looks marvelous. Slim conical shank continues onto the vulcanite stem. It's unfiltered, with a saddle part. Rare find. Even more in lightly smoked condition such as this one is.
Do appreciate the amount of work that went into restoring this pipe as close as possible to its original condition.Meticulously cleaned, with fresh coating applied to the chamber for additional protection.
