Let's see how many of my fellow pipers own a Christian Wolfsteiner pipe (Tarok Pipes). This little guy is called Mini Wartfish and sports an all briar stem. In his lifetime, Christian made the most remarkable smoking instruments.

Back story: This pipe was made as an homage to one of Christian's friends and mentor, Roger Wallenstein. Roger is known for his crustaceous pipe designs and Christian wanted to take the concept to the nth degree.
To be honest, I don't know. I bought the pipe on the estate market hoping it was smoked, but when I received it I found out it was not. It is exactly how Christian Wolfsteiner intended it to be when it left his bench.
Now that Christian is no longer with us, I do not have the heart to light it up...out of respect. His pipes do not come along very often, and this one will remain unsmoked while in my possession.

I've read the page through translation and it sounds generally the same as the Pipedia entry. Sadly no new information on the maker. It seems you hold him in very high esteem, do you have more information on the maker? Some of his other pipes are both ridiculous and fascinating.
