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 country stamp, a compact curved profile and a broad metal collar give this pipe its identity. MADE IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA is impressed into the smooth shank; no individual maker is named in the recorded marks.
The pipe is a smooth bent billiard, described at intake as a vest-pocket form. The rounded heel leads into a rising shank and a curved acrylic saddle stem. In the side photographs the bowl and stem form a compact sweep, while the bright metal band makes a clear dividing line between the warm brown wood and the black mouthpiece. The hand-held photographs provide another useful view of its proportions alongside the measurements below.
THE SHAPE AND FITTINGS The billiard bowl keeps a relatively upright outline above the rounded heel. Its smooth surface leaves the grain and changes in stain visible, rather than covering them with a carved texture. The saddle stem steps down behind its thicker base before following the bend toward the bit. The mouthpiece is recorded as a P-Lip type, and the fitting is recorded for a 6mm filter. These are features of this example; no maker attribution is inferred from the mouthpiece style.
THE MARKS - MADE IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA, on the shank
The country name is part of the pipe's recorded identity. It does not by itself establish a factory, model or exact production year, and none is assigned here.
CONDITION Pre-smoked, in good condition as recorded at intake, with fading to the stain and scratches around the briar. The photographs show the chamber, rim, stem, separated joint and stamp as well as both sides of the bowl. Please use those close views to judge the surface wear.
THE MEASUREMENTS - Length: 135 mm (5.31 in) - Bowl height: 38 mm (1.50 in) - Bowl width: 33 mm (1.30 in) - Chamber diameter: 18 mm (0.71 in) - Chamber depth: 31 mm (1.22 in) - Weight: 30 g (1.06 oz)

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. 13 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.
