Unknown (Probably Armellini) Smooth Cavalier Estate Briar Pipe, Italian Estates

It is surprising that this pipe isn’t stamped, as anyone who knows Italian pipes would be able to spot it for what it is a mile away: an Armellini. Specifically, it’s what Mauro Armellini referred to as a “Calabash,” though which is closer in shaping to a cavalier, or at least to the hunter’s pipes the cavalier descended from. Perhaps it was intended to be a second? Who knows, but it’s a good, interesting pipe, and it’ll be a good, very reasonable price.

The condition is good. Some rim darkening and inner rim charring.
