It could also be a Chisul Rustic 02 or more likely the 988-1988 Dublin Millenium Pipe as Donal McCann the actor was from Dublin. ???
Pipe Sighting at the Movies

In the propaganda film Mission to Moscow ( 1943) the American ambassador to the USSR gets to meet Stalin.
Stalin smokes a great looking full bent with a very Dunhillesque style. Couldn't see a white dot so I can't verify the brand. Film had excellent production values so maybe, since Uncle Joe favored Dunhills, the pipe the actor smoked was actually a Dunhill.

We went to see the new Frankenstein movie on Wednesday evening. It's very good, even (especially?) for a Netflix production. In at least 2 scenes, pipes are shown, though without smoke (lest anyone be triggered).
Charles Bronson this afternoon in 1972’s The Mechanic. The glare is part of the movie itself, but it looks like a Dublin.
This may have been noted earlier in the thread, but today I was watching the 2010 version of "True Grit." Matt Damon's character smokes a pipe in a couple of scenes. Looks like a bent meer pipe of some kind. Does anyone know more about it??
I don't know if this is off topic or not. Hard to say.
I just watched the latest BBC reboot of Maigret, based on the great books by Georges Simenon. Aside from Sherlock, Maigret is one of the most well-documented pipe smoking detectives.
I was quite sad that in this version, the pipe was reduced to a mere prop. A familial inheritance occasionally taken out and fondled in times of reflection, but never, ever filled and smoked.
Ah well. I guess thats just the way the world is now.
Anyway, for a pipe smoker, the books have a lot of recognizeable pleasures. And the previous tv adaptation starting Michael Gambon from the early 90s features quite a bit of on screen puffing to appreciate.

The Godfather: Robert Duval as Tom
Hagen meets with the Hollywood producer to try to get Johnny Fontaine the leading role in a movie.

And they gender and race swapped a lot of the supporting characters too so I refuse to watch it and I am a very big Maigret / Simenon fan.
In the four, essentially films that Rowan Atkinson played Maigret he smokes a pipe a lot, a few I can't make out and a few notable Dunhill billiards
Charles Bronson was born with a pipe clenched in his mouth and a sock full of quarters in his hand.
No, it does not, at least forThat doesn’t end well
From Instagram:
Before Hollywood knew him as Charles Bronson, the world knew him as Charles Buchinsky.
Born to Lithuanian immigrant coal miners in Pennsylvania, Bronson grew up underground, not on a soundstage. When war came, he left the mines and joined the U.S. Army Air Forces in 1943, volunteering for one of the most dangerous jobs of the air war.
Bronson served as a B-29 Superfortress aerial gunner with the 39th Bomb Group, 314th Bomb Wing, operating from Guam in the Marianas. Flying long-range missions over the Japanese home islands, he endured flak, fighters, engine fires, and the constant strain of combat at altitude. These missions were measured in hours, exhaustion, and survival, not glamour.
He flew 25 combat missions, earning the Purple Heart after being wounded during a raid when shrapnel tore into his arm. Like so many who served, he rarely spoke about the war afterward. The silence stayed with him, shaping the hardened screen presence that later defined his career.
Bronson did not act tough. He had already lived it.
Add my father to that list... tail gunner in a B-17G out of England, flew 15 combat missions over Europe then rotated back to the states as an aerial gunner instructor, training new crewmembers for the task. He quit smoking a pipe about the time I was born at the advice of a doctor after some suspicious lesions on his lip where the pipe stayed.
