I actually have a pipe like the one in the second pic, a Hurricane, but it’s another of those I keep forgetting. I love those silver domes, are they still available, never seen one before.View attachment 78326

Sorry, don't know, but I'm guessing there must be something similar or just as good out there ...
The selection of caps I bought (St. Clair Patent / London Made) in silver from 1906 stamped by unknown (to me) maker F.P. and aluminium were bought from Brian Tipping in the Antiquarius market in the King's Road in the early 1980s along with a collection of unsmoked Victorian clays and a collection of very old pipe smoking related newspaper cuttings.

Another option is a pipe with fixed windcap ... not an unusual sight on the Continent but not so usual in the UK


Yet another option is to have the cap chain attached

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, cobia and sugar snap peas dinner with a very small slice of pecan pie for dessert. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Chichester Road (Merchant Service) in a full bend black pebble finish 2001 Rinaldo Lithos YY8 Titania Silver Line egg with a black acrylic tapered stem. El Salvador Dali, neat, is my drink. Watching the Braves-Nats game, and working on a review of this blend.

It's the top pipe.
