Just snapped this up off of the 'bay. I have always admired this shape, as well as the "swan". This one is stamped "Handicraft of Copenhagen". I think Sven produced pipes for W.O. Larsen, who in turn provided pipes for Remo Sorensen's shop............. I know little about these Danish pipes and lineages, I'm (generally) an old Brit-wood guy, but knowing I'll never get a Dunhill LC, this one will fill that void..........
I know this a Sven Knudsen design, but how likely is it that it was carved by him?
These are the seller's pics, I don't have the pipe in hand. I love the delicate blast on this, and the shape is wonderful.
Told myself NO MORE PIPES, and just like that, a moment of weakness............
Here's the page out of W.O. Larsen's catalog:
