Just ordered a estate Svendborg Bent Brandy, for the price I can't expect a Illsted or Tao, but who knows. Will be my Va/VaPer pipe for longer smokes.
A little rainy day project here to keep me busy for a minute. The pipe is marked "Holtorp, Hand Made, Denmark" in the smooth band near the stem. This is only my second pipe restoration/refurbish attempt and I'm enjoying using it as a great way to get to know pipes. The shape called out to me, so I thought I'd give it a go. The hardest part was dealing with the oxidation on the stem, otherwise, I think it shined up fairly well.

Couple of recent arrivals - Anne Julie's canted egg design for Stanwell shape 35 (shape 935 for the Royal Danish)
The dark partially sandblast is a Royal Danish (Stanwell 2nd line) shape 935
The larger saddle-stemmed smooth has NO markings on the stummel. The stem markings have been buffed out and can't be made out. Unsure if this is a Stanwell, Scandia or one of their other 2nd line pipes.

On its way to me is this wonderful Eric Andersen "pan" pipe.
This was his first shape " the pan " and it was carved before he moved to England, so 1975-1990 .

Wonderful Stanwells Bengel.
It is Stanwell with a brass band, but not it is not a "brass band " series one. If you take my meaning.
What is the exact nomenclature ?
Thanks! Orlando you are correct, it is a Trio, I was being lazy and not getting up to check. I had heard them referred to as brass bands.
Regards
No shape number stamped just Trio and Made in Denmark
It was described as a Horn shape when I bought it.
I've posted this in the "Pipe Talk" section.
Another Stanwell Shape 35 - this one is a Danish Natural (Stanwell second)
Possibly my favourite Danish pipe shape.

I picked up this Scandia dublin from eBay recently. I love the rustication on this one.
