Any Info About This Elegant Cocktail Pipe?

[Mike N]

I just bought this “Gent’s Pipe” because of its incredible design. Here is all the information the seller provided:

Very interesting estate of unknown origin. It's stamped with "Gents' Pipe". I have no idea where it came from. Long size, slightly Bent shape. Jet black shiny finish; sandwich brass bands with briar insert in between. Unfiltered pipe in mint condition with barely visible signs of wear/use.

Dimensions:

Pipe straight length: 15.5 cm
Bowl outer height: 5 cm
Inner bowl depth: 4.1 cm

Bowl inner diameter: 2 cm
Bowl outer diameter: 3.9 cm
Weight: 46 grams/1.6 oz​

Any thoughts? My guess is it was made in France 1970-1990. Thanks in advance.

The overall design and finish reminds me of a Mr. Brog, but I've never seen that logo before.

Typically colored pipes are colored due to one or more reasons. Main reason is the grain pattern isn't pleasing to the eyes. But black pipes are usually for more formal occasions, or so I read. And keeping that black finish from fading away isn't a easy task. Good quality black finish should last good amount of time.

From the use of brass fitting, I would think it's not exactly the top of the line pipe. Typically more expensive pipes use sterling or gold.

Someone who can identify the logo might chime in.

When smoking an elegant cocktail pipe, etiquette says you should extend your pinky finger straight out. With some practice you too can look like this tea drinking English twit.
