Dunhill - Bruyere 100 – Group 1A - Pipe - Briar

Dunhill Bruyere Pipe – Shape 100 – Group 1A – Made in England
Original Dunhill briar pipe, with the classic smooth red-brown Bruyere finish, one of the most representative historic finishes of English craftsmanship.
The piece bears the shape number 100 and the 1A marking. The initials identify a pipe belonging to Group 1, therefore small in size, with Bruyere finish.
The pipe features an elegant and slender straight shape, with a long Vulcanite mouthpiece and a compact head.
Measurements: total length 15.5 cm; length of the body without the mouthpiece 6 cm; outer diameter of the bowl 3 cm; inner diameter of the chamber about 2 cm.
The pipe is used and shows normal signs of wear. Visible carbon buildup in the chamber, darkening of the rim, small surface marks on the briar, and strong oxidation of the Vulcanite mouthpiece. A professional cleaning and polishing is recommended.
The markings are still present, as documented in the photographs.
Interesting vintage Dunhill piece for collection, made in England.
