Fellow Pipe Smokers

I was wandering what is the model and or shape of this pipe from the movie "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy".

Do you have any ideas?

Looks like a fairly standard taper stem straight billiard.

Sorry I didn't write the post correctly. I was looking for a very similiar model of the pipe. Also on the second photo it look like an oval shape?

I can't see it enough in the shadowy lighting to speculate on brand, but chasing has the shape. The prop person for the movie may have had a particular message the pipe was supposed to convey, like a degree of anonymity maybe?

Definitely round:

I'm losing my eyes O_O

 

[mariorossi]

any ideas on the brand or a similiar pipe with the same shape?

Billiards are one of the classic pipe shapes made by just about every pipe company and maker - so take your pick.
The one in your photos looks like the stem has a slight bend to it.

If you're after an oval bowled pipe, the shape is called an "opera"

Badly obscured by the smoke but could be a small brandy.

I don’t want to smoke a pipe that sniveling little bastard Toby Esterhase handles. And yes, I’m a huuuuge fan of le Carre.

My first thought was Dunhill, but it seems the stem is perhaps not slender enough to be a Dunhill.

 

[ChuckMijo]

It’s called a opera pipe. It was that shape to fit nicely into jacket pocket.

 

[solideogloria86]

Definitely a very standard billiard pictured.

To echo the others, if you want an oval shaped bowl you can try to track down an opera shape.

 

[kcghost]

I seond or whatever the idea that it is an opera pipe.

 

[OzPiper]

I still call it a billiard.
I'm sure the ovoid looking bowl is because of the angle of the photo.
That pipe has a longish shank/stem - more in keeping with a billiard.
ALL Opera pipes have shortened shanks/stems so they fit into a pocket, and look "pot-like" in profile as in the photos above.
