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.
This reference example documents a Peterson Army pipe in shape 106, finished in an ebony-stained sandblast and fitted for a 9mm filter. The sandblast treatment exposes the grain structure of the bowl in relief, and the dark ebony stain gives the surface a uniformly deep tone that has long been a staple option across Peterson's catalogue. The pipe is configured with Peterson's army mount, a push-fit stem system in which the stem seats into a reinforced shank end rather than by a conventional friction tenon — a construction the firm helped popularise, so named because it allowed soldiers to separate and reassemble a pipe quickly in the field without risk of cracking the shank. The 9mm filter channel places this example within the filtered configuration Peterson has supplied extensively for markets where such systems are standard. The Army designation within that range denotes the mount style rather than a distinct shape family, and army-mounted versions of standard shapes have been offered throughout the company's modern history. This example is recorded as an Irish estate pipe, and its 9mm filter fitment is consistent with the filtered lines Peterson has produced in recent decades. On that basis the record assigns an honest bracket of later twentieth to twenty-first century, with the precise year undetermined.

From 1 recorded sale — this pipe, this day. A single transaction is not a market price, and we will never print one as if it were.
The sample this sits in: Faridunhill has recorded 1222 sales of Peterson between 2015–2026 — median $95, most falling between $59 and $145.
The date shown is the date of sale, not the date this page was published. Our own transaction record, published free. No buyer appears here — not a name, not initials, not a country. Counted across both of our channels — eBay 2015–2022 and Etsy 2022–2026 — so the series is continuous and a change of marketplace is never read as a change in price.
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.
Instagram post, 2022-12-08. 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. 7 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.
