A long-desired addition to your private collection: John Redman Special Best Briar 509 (the laddle shape, favourite one!). 

A really great work of Redman’s carvers: perfect briar, amazing distinct grain, ideal shaping and drilling. 

The series was one of the top grades, only Redman’s Royal pipes are more valuable!

The pipe markings are “Golden Square \ LONDON MADE”,  “509”.
