Am finding what some e-tailers call freehands and what I would seems to differ at times. 1 of my Nordings is this shape http://www.therightpipe.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=catalog.viewProduct&productId=2433&catId=612 though mine has a silver ferrule. So, would you call this a freehand? thanks.

If pressed, I would call it a freehand Dublin, but definitely freehand. Here's a similar design by Johs listed as a bent Dublin, but still is a freehand.

chasing', I was going to point out the same comparison, since Mogen Johansen (Johs) is also Danish, and he labels many of his current crop of freehand type pipes as Dublins.

They follow the same characteristic of an inverted bell shaped front profile like a traditional Dublin. Now when grain is followed to create a pipe shape, some very wild and outlandish shapes will emerge like this Holm in my collection.

That one looks like a fantasy sea shell, one of a kind. I have a Johs freehand, what I think of as a tomahawk, where the bowl briar reaches down below the shank to a point. That one is a freehand, but in my opinion not a Dublin.
