@GLPease, Greg I have always been a paramour for the classic, be it my love for older gramophones (turntables), Leica cameras, Vespa Scooters, Ceramic figurines, Japanese Bonsai or the Classic Pipe Shapes.
I understand when you say you are not particularly liking the trendy attention they are getting now, but trust me, I rarely go with the current trends or the new shineys. I learned photography using a Nikon F80 instead of a D70 way back in the early 2000's. My absolutely favorite pipe shape is the bent bulldog and guess what? I have zero in possession currently (excluding the ones I have in the US) but have 2 Princes in my rotation. A John Aylesbury 406 by Peterson and a Ropp EUG R49 Prince. A Comoy 337 in restoration and actively seeking the Dunhill Prince with the silver army mount like yours.
I like what your crystal ball is showing to the younger generation of pipe smokers. To keep the love for the classic going.
@mso The Classic 1920-1940's Dunhill Shell Prince in the silver army mount is the inspiration. I wont be including it in the artisanal set. I also started the idea of this 7 day set as to restrain myself to overspend on pipes and focus on something bigger and hence work towards it slowly.
@mlc I would love to get those Dunni Princes in the near future.
Cheers,
Chris
