I very briefly owned one, but I discovered a crack and had to return it. Oh well...Whew, you got your sights set high! Love his pipes.

I have a DB, weird strange pipe.Castello, Design Berlin.
Thanks for adding more insight to this fascinating pioneer of the art.Sixten spearheaded the organic freehand approach to pipe carving. Before that pipe largely followed the French canon. From what I've read, he initially did this to get more pipes out of a block of wood because his finances were tight. Now, these are some of the most expensive pipes on the market. Bo Nordh pipes can command five figures!

I think Peck inhabits a different universe to most of usI have always wanted what Peck showed us years ago on this forum, the Michael Parks Long Shanks collection! Wow, but more than I can justify spending -- and that's keeping in mind I buy the odd Castello
Viena, pre WWII?Brand? Ya, well, I suppose it would be Castello in a 55 shape. I agree with G.L. that these are a nice shape.
Other than that, I'd love to have a pipe from one of the Great Danes, or one of our own, home grown pipe makers. There are a couple/few whose pipes are always special. Quite a few, actually.
