Benner Pibe-Dan Pipe Info

[lordnantwich]

I have a pipe I'm quite fond of and was wondering if anyone knew anything about it. Its a Benner it has the marking AXI on the right shank. On the left shank there is a slightly faded Pibe-Dan Copenhagen. The bottom of the bowl has the Benner Handmade Denmark marking.

Does anyone know the name of the style/shape and age? I've not seen one like it. It was certainly well loved by prior owner.

That shape is probably a bent egg or something like that.
Benner is danish carver Bent Benner Nielsen and as far as I know he is still active, both as a carver and on danish facebook groups for pipe smokers.
