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 Peterson Kapruf sandblasted pipe, shape number X105/3. The pipe features a sandblasted bowl, which gives the surface a deeply textured, rugged appearance. The shape X105 is a classic Peterson design, typically characterised by a bent form that combines comfort with a distinctive silhouette. The presence of this stamping, along with the model and shape number, provides the primary evidence for dating the piece to the Republic of Ireland era.
