I cannot find a reference for an Inverness tobacco pipe shape anywhere. When I google it, mostly the closest reference I get are bagpipes. I can't find an image with this tag or reference either. Where do you see the term "Inverness" as a pipe shape?

The Loewe pipe? Yes, a Lovat, that is the shape. Think of Inverness as the company's designation for the shape, in the same way Sasieni used town names to designate shapes. The Lovat shape in the Sasieni world, shape number 26, the Marlborough.

Dave is 100% correct. Coincidentally, I just bought a Loewe Inverness from another forum member last week. Very nice pipe. About a group 4 in size. I would say its shank is a bit on the short side for a classic lovat, however.

Thank You for the input,This made it clear,so it was the manufacturer's model name.

So, what is the difference between a Lovat and a Liverpool?

So, what is the difference between a Lovat and a Liverpool?

A tapered stem, and the shank/stem proportions. An example, again from Sasieni, shape 62, town name......Liverpool.
