From the posted description. “Smokingpipes identifies Barrister as a Comoy's brand. This unusual 1950s-60s pipe has a shank extension made of ebonite. It is also "new old stock", a pipe that has NEVER BEEN SMOKED. Stamped "Barrister" on the ebonite shank (left side) and "Imported Briar" on the right side of the briar portion of the shank. It comes with its original stinger, which can be removed with some care (a heat gun would help). This a very rare opportunity to own an unsmoked vintage pipe made under the Comoy's banner.” |

It’s in excellent condition i should have taken more care photographing it.
One thing to note is the stinger came right out, and it goes right back and seats well if you push firmly, so not sure why the heat gun comment in the seller’s description.
