Thank you ?

 

[cshubhra]

That pipe is a beauty. You sound like you are unsure of whether to smoke it or sell it.

I am 100% sure I will smoke it. And if my life goes as I have planned, it will be donated to a museum

 

[cshubhra]

Wow!

Thank you!

 

[cshubhra]

Nice man!!! I’m sure it will smoke great for you! Does the airway seem to be bare wood if you shine a light in the chamber and look in the shank?

I am fully resisting .... must resist..... joke..... peewit..... no.........

^^ dude above took a glamour shot

Thank you ! The airway looks to be bare wood. The name of the shape is not in English (I hope ?)

Congratulations on an awesome pipe. It's a wonderful example of the work of the single most influential carver of the post-war era.

Thank you ?

 

[cshubhra]

Very nice acquisition...enjoy!

Thank you ?

I confirmed with a knowledgeable expert who is friends with the Ivarsson family. This pipe is indeed unsmoked (although not for long)

This is a trophy pipe that is to be treasured for a long time. Personally, I would smoke it because even if it is smoked it will still command a heck of a resale price.

I think it was named after the bird egg

I think it was named after the bird egg

At least it wasn’t named after some of the members of this forum as I had suspected!!

That is a very special pipe. Unsmoked! I’m glad to know you’re going to change that. Great catch! Thanks for showing it off. (Maybe you should post a picture of it’s inaugural smoke … impolite of me to even suggest such a thing.)

Then why would you care if it's a virgin or not? BTW, great acquisition!
