BARLING VF 903 MADE IN DENMARK - No reserve price - Pipe - Briar

# Barling Make International – Made in Denmark, VF 903

From the photos, this pipe presents a classic and slender shape, with a briar bowl in a glossy mahogany color with red-brown grains, a curved black mouthpiece and an elegant line. The legible markings indicate “Barling Make International”, “Made in Denmark” and the code “VF 903”.

It is important to distinguish the Barling brand from the declared manufacturing origin on the pipe: the inscription “Made in Denmark” indicates Danish production, so it should not be presented as a Barling from England without further proof. The code “VF 903” should be reported as a mark, without attributing an unverified meaning to it.

## Probable dating

The combination “Barling Make International” + “Made in Denmark” is associated with Danish production commissioned by Barling in the period after the corporate transition, especially in the seventies. Some of these pipes were made by Danish producers, including Erik Nørding. The dating of yours, however, remains indicative.
