John Brumfit 305 Smooth Bent Rhodesian Estate Pipe - Acrylic Stem, 9mm Filter

John Brumfit 305 is stamped on this smooth, slightly bent Rhodesian estate pipe. Its reddish-brown briar bowl is paired with a black acrylic saddle stem, a fishtail bit and a 9mm filter fitting. The broad bowl, defined upper shoulder and gently curved mouthpiece give the pipe a substantial profile without a pronounced bend.

The photographs show the grain across both sides of the bowl and along the shank. Around the upper bowl, the shoulder separates the narrower rim area from the fuller body below. A narrow, bright collar marks the junction with the black stem. Its appearance is visible in the photographs; no precious-metal composition is claimed.

THE MARKS
- John Brumfit, within an oval outline
- 305

The close-up photographs record the name and number directly. The number is reproduced as marked. The available intake record does not establish a manufacturing date, country of manufacture or factory history, so none is assigned here.

THE STEM AND FITTING
The intake identifies an acrylic saddle stem with a fishtail bit and a 9mm filter fitting. Its thicker base meets the shank before stepping down to the flatter mouthpiece. The separated-stem photograph shows the fitting beside the bowl. A filter fitting is specified; a supplied filter is not promised.

CONDITION
Pre-smoked and in very good condition, as described at intake. Farid records fading of the stain and scratches around the briar. The photographs show the chamber, rim, both sides of the bowl, underside, mouthpiece and separated stem, as well as the stamp close-ups. These views form part of the condition record and should be examined together. The wooden display support shown in the photographs is not included.
