Peterson - Pipa Peterson System Premier 305 (Anno 1971) - Argento Sterling 925 - No reserve price - Pipe - Briar, Silver, Plastic

Peterson System Premier 305 Pipe (Year 1971) - Sterling Silver 925 - Vintage
Splendid and rare Peterson System Premier 305 pipe (Calabash curved shape), dating to the early Republic Era, precisely the year 1971.
Unlike standard models with a nickel rim, the prestigious Premier line is distinguished by a superior briar selection (no fills) and a rustic finish with pronounced grain in warm brown and reddish tones.
The highlight of this pipe is the stunning handmade true Sterling Silver (.925) ring, bearing the three official Dublin Assay Office hallmarks:
1. Hibernia seated (Irish craftsmanship)
2. Crowned harp (silver purity)
3. Italic letter "D" (certifying the exact year of production: 1971)
On the bottom of the shank, there is the legible maker’s mark: "Peterson's System Premier 305 - Made in the Republic of Ireland".
