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
This Peterson System Standard represents the classic Irish pipe-making tradition with its distinctive System engineering. The smooth-finished bowl follows the 312 shape, a bent design characterized by its comfortable hand feel and balanced proportions. The pipe features Peterson's signature System construction, which includes an army mount stem connection and the proprietary P-lip mouthpiece designed to direct smoke upward toward the palate. The System's internal mechanics—comprising a moisture reservoir and graduated bore—aim to provide a cooler, drier smoking experience. Dating is indicated by the estate nature of the pipe, suggesting previous use, while the stampings confirm its identity as a Peterson System Standard in the 312 shape. The combination of smooth finish and functional System elements makes this a representative example of Peterson's approach to engineered smoking instruments.
