Does anyone here on the Forum have one of his pipes? If so, would you post a pic of it please. I have one and am interested in others.

NS, I do have one of the pipes that this maker produced. It is as yet unsmoked and I don't see myself smoking it. This line was actually made by a US pipe maker. He made pipes under several names including the Sven Lar name which he started using around 1973.
Here is a link to more information about him and there are also some pictures of his work there as well.

Make sure to check out his definition of a "Freehand" pipe
Can't find a picture of the one I have right now. I'll take one and post here later. But may need a reminder. LOL

Thanks smokindawg, here is a pic I just took of it. I read your link, much appreciated, it seems as tho the B categories are the more pricey ones and that is what this one I have is. I figured it was a pretty darn good pipe and it is. Smokes really well too.
I've seen them on the bay but don't have any personal experience. That is a thing of beauty by the way.
I have a Sven Lars by M Kabib from early 80's. A gift from my wife. A beautiful pipe and a great smoke.

Adding another shot. Trying to get the second shot in larger format. Hope this works.

Those are some beautiful pipes, but I have too many FreeHand's to add any more, but then you never know :mrgreen:
