This is a Dunhill ODA 806 F/T from 1971. Over the years, it's gotten pretty dull. I forgot to take before pictures but the first pic is a pretty good recreation. I decided to refinish it, but achieved more of the tone of the late 80's rather than the bright magenta of the 70's. I'm pretty happy with it.

I have been keeping my eye out for a sixties Dunhill to replace my year 2000 Shell I sold because I wasn't a big fan of the jet black finish. Recently I came across this shape 48 Root Briar from 1963. I was mostly looking for a regular bent billiard but I fell in love with this one and got a good price. Also adds some variety to my collection because I sold my only bulldog a while ago.

FWIW, although it took me rather a long term to begin to appreciate bulldogs as a classic English shape, the 48 is one of my favorites too.

Acquired an unsmoked 2001 Group 6 Cumberland Cherrywood (6120), my first Dunhill.

I have read on SP that it is a fairly rare pipe in a few of their sold ads, they allege "New or estate, you could count all the examples we've seen on one hand".

Yet, the previous owner had it in his collection as a duplicate he had never smoked. He also had the Group 5 variant, along with another 30 Dunhills.
