I was thinking that some Dunhills will sell used for about that price.
Thanks. ? Interesting stuff. Watching it to see what happens. Still a long way to go in the auction so who knows what it’ll reach.

That was really interesting, thanks! Didn't Sasini make a swan neck pipe too? It had a really pronounced flat swan 'head' if I remember right.
Yeah it’s a beautiful shape. There are some graceful inexpensive versions out now. Can’t remember which brand but I will check.
This is what I was thinking of. Not an LC for sure but graceful. BriarWorks Classic Dark Sandblasted (C13) | Buy BriarWorks Tobacco Pipes at Smokingpipes - https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/Briarworks/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=417942
& a mite cheaper too.
That's a nice one - thanks for that! Found the one I was thinking of ??ENGLISH ESTATE PIPE: SASIENI FOUR DOT RUFF ROOT "VISCOUNT LASCELLES" | eBay - https://www.ebay.com/itm/373426574641 (Viscount Lascelles is apparently what I should have been looking for)!
There's always the option of commissioning one from an artisan.
Not my style but the likeness is spot on.
I recently picked up this pair of Briar Works for much less than 1,200 pounds. I was definitely attracted to the shape.
That's a good start for a real LC (which that one appears to be), a true grail piece for Dunhill collectors.
post the link to the Ebay auction, I'd like to watch what happens.
I held a Dunhill LC a few years ago, at the NYC show. I think the seller (one of the show organizers) was asking $2,500 and I believe he sold it before the end of the show .
As they say, "they aren't making them any more".

Am I Going Mad.... That would be harsh! Try "Bat 
crazy" ...?
The LC shape, the devil is in the details.

There's no explaining taste, not my cup of tea at $12.00. But it's your money and if you can afford it, and it's eating at your core, buy it and be done with it. With all the boys it has, you should be able to recover most of your money if you change your mind after the fact.
Imagine how many metric tons of 1Q you could buy instead...
1Q versus a Dunhill, my money would be going for the tobacco.
Don’t blame ya, I hear it makes great potting mix
