An amazing large, heavy and still unsmoked pipe made by Danish genius Preben Holm in 1960-70s. You still may see the artisan’s original bowl coat in the chamber. The condition is practically ideal, we may remark only slight discoloration of the logo on the stem.

The pipe marking is “PREBEN HOLM \ TRADITIONAL \ 200 \ HANDMADE \ IN \DENMARK”. The length is 18.0 cm (7.09″), the bowl’s height is 5.9 cm (2.32″). External diameter of the bowl is 5.1 cm (2.0″), internal diameter is 2.3 cm (0.9″). The depth is 5.1 cm (2.0″) and this pipe weights 88 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.
