Ukrainian Pipe Maker

[Jbrewer2002]

My local B&M said he has a pipe maker out of Ukraine. He suspiciously doesn’t know the makers name. Do you recognize this style? There $80-150 each. I like a few of them but just don’t know anything about there origins

Are there any markings?

I don't know how much pipe carving can get done in Ukraine right now. It looks like he is fairly prolific. Maybe some of our European members can come up with a name.

Just for sport, I went to SP's estate pipes and searched Ukraine, and it turned up only one pipe carver, Konstantin Shekita, whose sandblast freehand was priced at a cool $900.00, so probably not your man.

He is supposed to get me a picture of the marking or I’ll look next time I stop.

Looks similar to something KAF pipes would make, but it's hard to tell. I know of one other Ukranian pipe maker and these definitely aren't his.
Markings would be your best bet. Or contact a Ukrainian pipe maker asking if they've any idea
