Facts, not a grade. We do not score a pipe out of ten: a number would rank a restored pipe above an honest one, and restoration is exactly what this hobby prices down. Every line above is checkable by anyone holding the pipe. Lines marked Faridunhill standing declaration rest on our published, dated statement of shop practice (v1.0, 2026-07-29) — not on an inspection of this individual pipe. It is one document, in public, that you can hold us to.
The entry
Jean Claude in script on a smooth shank - a small bent apple of vest-pocket size, made for a 9mm filter.
This is a Jean Claude smooth bent apple with a transparent acrylic saddle stem. Next to the shank the stem is black, with a thin orange-colored ring; the bit part is clear, so you can see through it.
THE MARKS - Jean Claude in script on the shank
THE SHAPE AND THE STEM An apple bowl is rounded, fuller through the middle and closing in a little toward the rim. Here the bowl is round, the shank is smooth, and the pipe is bent. A saddle stem has a flat, wider part near the shank that steps down to a thinner bit; this one flares out at the end in a fishtail bit.
THE FINISH The finish is smooth and glossy, and swirling grain shows on the sides of the bowl. Please see the photographs for the grain, the chamber and the stem, including the stem taken off the shank.
No date is given for this pipe.
Condition: pre-smoked, in very good condition.

This record is append-only. Nothing is deleted — a correction is a new entry that supersedes the old one, and both stay visible.
What this record still doesn't carry
- The attribute checklist is open on: original stem, stem replaced or re-cut, topped. These are facts, not opinions — anyone holding this pipe can close them.
- The stampings and attribution here are as reported with the piece. A second, independent source — a catalogue page, a dated advertisement, a hallmarked sibling — is what would raise this record.
- No shape number recorded — the maker's own catalogue designation for this form is still open.
Nobody leaves empty-handed. If you hold the catalogue page, the dated advertisement, or a hallmarked sibling that closes one of these — or simply own this model and can measure yours — send it in. Contributions are checked, credited to you by name, and the record is updated with the date it changed.
The witness
Faridunhill shop post, 2026-11-09. Published to a third-party platform on that date and archived since — a timestamp we cannot move. It is evidence that this object existed and looked like this, then.
The photographs are the identity. 11 images of this pipe's grain, stamping and stem are held as its fingerprint. The handle above is only a handle: lose it, and the pipe can still be matched back to this record from its grain.
