This amazing Peterson’s canadian shaped pipe with the silver cap is really a wonderful artisan’s tribute to old ad everlasting traditional Petersons.
“Each pipe in this range is distinguished by its fill-free finish, either smooth or sandblasted, and expert metal fitments, shaped and applied by the hands of our most experienced craftsman. Our silversmiths are among the most talented in the world, having undergone traditional five-to-eight-year apprenticeships under a senior craftsman; each smith has engineered his own mandrel, meaning that every metal fitment is imprinted with the subtle, personal style of the one who machined it” (c) Peterson site.
The pipe marking is “PETERSON’S \ DUBLIN”, “264”. The length is 15.2 cm (5.98″), bowl’s height is 4.5 cm (1.77″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.4 cm (1.34″), internal diameter is 1.9 cm (0.75″). The depth is 3.9 cm (1.54″) and this pipe weights 38 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.
