Meanwhile, arguably in the department of very saddest looking Dunhill grail ever seen (which is to say something that apparently began life as a so-called swan neck LC shell), there was this sorry looking specimen.
Listed as "Vintage LC Dunhill's "SHE" Large Pipe"--and held together with electricians tape obscuring most of the pipe's nomenclature (as well as quite what damage the shank had sustained), the seller ended the listing early because of "error"--so my guess is it was then sold off EBay by private treaty, and someone somewhere is now bravely tackling what can only be called its resurrection.

Even as rare as LC's are....no
This one is much better looking and the price is fair :
No LC stamp though.

Pretty much impossible to fail being "better looking." And more importantly, a promising candidate for restoration (depending on how advanced the stem oxidation turned out to be). But while 6.25" was certainly a very decent sized for a 1925 Dunhill, LCs are considerably larger.This one is much better looking and the price is fair :

One intriguing thing about this pipe is that it appears to lack any shape stamp (nor to have a innertube size), even though the nomenclature is quite crisp. The sales prose in catalogues of the time suggest that unlike Dunhill's smooth pipes, blasted ones might not conform to their standard shapes, but almost all surviving shells from the 20s have more than just patent numbers. Definitely one of those "never say never" kind of things.
Nice old 120 with a great swan neck bend. I'm sure the new owner will be happy with it.
A rose by any other name. . . I'd also be inclined to say it's a 120. But more than a few mid-1920s Dunhill shells stamped only with a "9" (presumably indicating the correct innertube size) have turned up over the years.
Arguably a distinction without a difference (or enough of one for anyone rational to waste time thinking about), but something perhaps a few of us feel worth noting.
Went over my limit, but I tried. Buyer got a hell of a deal.

Must have been up for all of two seconds. This is the first day I haven't done a Barling search on eBay in weeks. Merde.
Congrats on a great purchase!

Whilst I check for Barling's several times a day I must have missed this one.
Congrats stranger ; annoying, annoying etc.

My top bid was $3 too low. I would have liked to have won this one. I've been collecting GBD's for 11 years now, and check Ebay auctions for that brand every day. I've never seen a GBD true Author shape. "Extra" grade, which is older, although I'm not sure about Rodrigo's claim of the 1920's. The button doesn't necessarily strike me as 1920's, but the smaller GBD rondell was used in the 1930's, and validated with hallmarked pipes. Maybe the winner will turn out to be a dead-beat buyer!
