England, 2004

Dunhill Dress pipes are relatively young; the series was introduced in 1973 and is distinguished by dark (in the most cases black) smooth finish. Despite the dark stain is hiding natural briar grain the “Dress” pipes look luxurious indeed!

The pipe markings are “4114 (dunhill)”, “DRESS \ MADE IN ENGLAND 04”. The length is 13.8 cm (5.43″) and the bowl’s height is 5.0 cm (1.97″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.7 cm (1.46″), internal diameter is 2.2 cm (0.87″). The depth is 4.1 cm (1.61″) and this pipe weighs 42 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The pipe was quite moderately smoked and very well preserved.
