Sorry I don't know how to copy the URL, but this a gorgeous pipe that's on Ebay right now. Bidding ends in 3 hours.
Does anybody know anything about this brand?
If I had the funds, I would be bidding on this beauty. Nice shape and killer grain.

So is it safe to buy pipes on ebay? I am too new to know. In other objects, there is a lot of counterfeit and fraud on eBay.

This unsmoked Prince sold a few weeks ago, I probably should have bought it.

I agree with rothnh about the price. If the pipe was a Dunhill or Charatan with that grain, it would probably bring three times the price.
That Prince Al posted is another beauty.
Does anybody know anything about the reputation of this brand?

I had my eye on that Prince a few weeks ago. I've never seen a blast so amazingly detailed. It's too bad it went out of my price range.

As Bigvan mentioned, they are featured in the new P&T magazine, so that tells you a lot right there.

Offerings sell out very quickly at Quality Briar, a place that sells very high-end pipes. In fact, not many available at all from their vendors.

Here is one:

It looks like that unsmoked Prince came from here:

Here is an interesting blog article on the makers:

I'm normally not a fan of Scandinavian design pipes, but this maker is somewhat unique and has my interest.
