From the father of modern pipemaking, Sixten Ivarsson, we have this wonderful classic short billard with a nice wide real silver ring. Despite some charring its in good shape. The pipe has been refurbished by Tom Eltang. Stem is not original but you will get the original stem as well. Followers of Danish and Swedish handmade pipes will know that a Sixten pipe is the ‘holy grail’ of pipe collecting. If you don’t know that much about Sixten and find yourself being confused over the Sweden versus Denmark thing, he was a Swedish guy living in Copenhagen, Denmark, married to a Danish woman, so he was in a way both Swedish/Danish.
