Unsmoked Grade 7 Straight Grain W.O. Larsen. Info requested.

Having just seen a similar thread regarding another W.O. Larsen Straight Grain, I thought that for posterity I should update this one to share that Rob Cooper told me that he was certain that my pipe was made by Benni Jorgensen.

I could see that. Almost all of my Larsens are from the earlier periods Rob mentions in the quote above. A lot of Sven Knudsen shapes.
"Very early 1960's to the early 1970's", and "Mid 1970's to the mid to late 1980's"

Just two of my older Larsen's,

If I had to guess, I'd say I have 50 or so Larsen pipes.
