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.
A Svendborg pipe from Denmark in a classic short, straight brandy shape, stamped Svendborg / DANISH / HAND MADE, with BARK and the number 34 on the shank.
The finish is smooth and glossy, and grain lines and bird's-eye figure show on both the bowl and the shank. The black vulcanite stem is tapered and ends in a flared fishtail bit. The tenon is stepped, and the pipe takes a 9mm filter.
THE MARKS - Svendborg in script - DANISH - HAND MADE - BARK - 34 - a small white mark on the side of the stem
Svendborg, DANISH, HAND MADE and BARK are stamped on the shank near the stem, and 34 is also on the shank. The meaning of BARK, of the number 34 and of the stem mark is not known.
THE SHAPE AND THE STEM A brandy bowl is wider at the bottom and narrows toward the rim, like a brandy glass. A tapered stem narrows evenly from the shank to the bit, and a fishtail bit flares out at the end.
No date is given for this pipe.
Condition: pre-smoked, good condition. Please see the photographs.

This record is append-only. Nothing is deleted — a correction is a new entry that supersedes the old one, and both stay visible.
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.
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. 16 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.
