Love that shape!

Just got this in a trade/cash deal. Pretty sure is a pre Stanwell pipe because of the quality and workmanship. It is a great smoke.
Any info would be appreciated.

Three new to me:





One and Two are 'Copenhagen'.

I watched numbers one and two on ebay. Great purchases of two fairly rare Sven Knudsen shapes. The later Bent Bulldog's condition looks to be excellent!

To me most Danish shaping looks different but not necessarily good. But shape 41 seems both. The bowl is especially dramatic, anchoring in the bulge below the horizontal line of stem, shank and bowl driving the flair, augmented by the inward taper.

I can't take my eyes off the movement that I see in this shape.

I had my finger on the trigger for the first pipe until you blew past me

Here's on from this October, Larsen Copenhagen Super shape 70.

That's a beauty.

mau1, sorry about that, mate.

But, maybe you'll be glad to know that I am no-longer chasing Larsens, after getting this one:




Shame about the stem buffing, but, I can live with it........

I have been eyeing this particular pipe for probably a year or more. It's a Grade 2 straight grain possible Teddy Knudsen. I received the funds from selling my old house so I finally pulled the trigger. Now it's a matter of waiting on international shipping and customs...

Here is are my W O.Larsens. All three are marked "Super", I am guessing that is a grade mark.

I'm new to pipe collecting and just got this beauty off ebay. seller believed it to be a WO Larsen from the shape and craftsmanship, but the only marking is a single 'O'. any ideas?

 

[shanez]

Are there any other markings?

 

[HouseofMalice]

Are there any other markings?

the 'O' is the only marking.

the person I purchased it from said 'It was probably made by one of the Great Danes who carved for W.O. Larsen. It dawned on me that the "0" stamp appears to be the same one Larsen used. Curious! The style reminds me of Sven Knudsen. Possibly Soren Refbjerg. Could even be Peter Hedegaard but the rustication looks like Brakner! Hard to pinpoint. May even be a collaborative pipe that was carved by one and finished by another.'

I bought it because I liked it, but the mystery around it is growing.

Missed this post, some classic shapes there. I recognise 70 and 114 immediately!

Nice pipes. I had a Larsen from the 70's and asked Tonni Nielsen if he knew who carved it and he said that he was the carver of the pipe.

The O on a W.O. Larsen stamp has a bar through it. Yours doesn't. Maybe it's a grade number? And the rustication, although similar to Brakner, isn't the same in my opinion. I have a number of Brakner's and I checked them closely against your pic.
