This is the next pipe from the collection of the late German actor Horst Janson.

A beautiful, large Billiard in Root Briar, with incredible bird’s-eye grain on both sides of the bowl and all over the shank — it honestly almost looks like leopard print.

Additionally please notice the weight on this pipe – at 38g it feels unnaturally lightweight, especially for a pipe this big… This is a mark of outstanding briar quality!

The date stamp is really hard to read, so it might be a 9 instead of an 8.
