Stamping:

- ‘Barling’s’ (in arch shape)

There are no numbers hence why I believe this is pre-transition but I’m no expert.

This is a rare and collectible pipe but does have history of repair. It looks like the chamber either blew or received strike damage and has been restored.

The pipe has been deep cleaned, waxed and polished and is ready for use.

Bowl width - 4.6cm

Chamber depth - 3.6cm
