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.
This MYPAL ITALY is a smooth straight Dublin pipe with a dark brown finish, an acrylic saddle stem and a fishtail bit. Farid records no filter and describes it as pre-smoked in very good condition, with rim dents and tiny scratches. The stamp close-up is included at the end of the photograph sequence.
The Dublin profile widens toward the rim from a narrower lower bowl. On this example, that flare is modest, with a rounded heel and a straight shank continuing into the black stem. The saddle forms a short step near the shank before the mouthpiece runs toward the bit. The smooth finish leaves the wood grain visible, with differences in color and figure across the photographed surfaces.
At 150mm long and 28g, the pipe combines a full-length straight outline with a relatively light recorded weight. Its chamber measures 20mm across and 35mm deep. The detached-stem photograph shows the metal tenon fitting; the no-filter specification comes from Farid's intake note.
THE MARKS The shank close-up reads MYPAL above ITALY. Italy is part of the photographed stamp. No production year or additional model number is established by the available evidence, and no broader maker history is added to this example's description.
CONDITION Pre-smoked in very good condition. Farid specifically discloses rim dents and tiny scratches, which remain part of the condition description. The rim and chamber view should be examined alongside the side, underside and detached-stem photographs. All ten photographs are retained; the overall condition grade does not remove the disclosed surface defects.
THE MEASUREMENTS Length: 150mm (5.91 in) Bowl height: 42mm (1.65 in) Bowl width: 35mm (1.38 in) Chamber diameter: 20mm (0.79 in) Chamber depth: 35mm (1.38 in) Weight: 28g (0.99 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. 10 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.
