Just a Dunhill Calabash History.

[forciori]

@Forciori,You've got a good taste when it comes to pipes no doubt bout it. Stunning Calabash, in the past I have had one Stranbach Wienna(now sold) but it wasn't comparable to this beauty of Yours,of course.

I have one Strambach, but not Calabash.

Thanks Paul!

Nice restoration!

You and your friend Naddeo do nice work!

Thanks, foricori.
Well, I also see you're good with Photoshop; that's extra ordinarily white. Whiter than white!

 

[forciori]

Without treatment... Satisfied now?

 

[jpmcwjr]

Much better. The images first posted (and one repeated below) have had levels adjusted so that the meerschaum looks too white. The one just above is more realistic.
Do you shoot RAW? Use a white balance card?

I'll say it again BEAUTIFUL! I forgot to ask, are there any date hallmarks on the sterling band?

Unfortunately not! It is from 70's, maybe.

Whatever it is the pipe is beautiful. Sherlock Holmes would be proud to smoke it.

That has to be one of the nicest looking specimens of gourd calabach I've seen. Very good cleanup job. :clap:
