Darvill Pipe?

[jaytex1969]

I snagged this pipe on eBay, as I thought it would make a nice small companion to the KS and EX Roma series Sav's I've acquired.

I was unable to find much on the name via the web. If anyone is familiar, please feel free to educate me.

I bought a Darvil 'basket pipe' when I first started piping. A medium sized smooth bent billiard, I think a good smoker for what I paid...about £15. I see GQ Tobaccos have a small selection at a mere £9.99 each.
The one I have was made in Italy if memory serves.
Regards,
Jay.
