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 is a large, stamped example of the Old Master 'Foreign Mage' line, bearing the shape number 378. The pipe is presented as an estate piece, indicating prior use. Its identification relies solely on the stampings present: 'Old Master', the secondary line name 'Foreign Mage', and the model number 378. Without additional factory date codes or corroborating historical records, the pipe's specific period of manufacture remains undated, placing it within a broad, unspecified era of production for the brand. The record serves as a reference for the stamping format and nomenclature used by this maker.
