I'm fairly decent when it comes to identifying Dane freehands...but I've not figured this one out. Trouble is, the nomenclature is quite worn after years of use...and these are the best pics I was able to get...
Besides the 'Hand made in Denmark' at the bottom, I know what some of you are thinking already...."Old Briar". Don't know if that's what it says, but it's a strong possibility. Or it might be a real long name, ending in "N"...because that might be an N over to the right of the R.
There is also some kind of larger fancy font "N" over to the right, above the possible 'old briar' stamping. Assuming that was original to the pipe, I'm thinking all letters of that word were caps.
Here's a side shot. The top is natural burl. Thanks for looking and guessing...
