Description

Dunhill Red Bark ( 1975)422 Bent Billiard Estate (Shipped with USPS First Class).
A beautiful ‘75 Red Bark Dunhill pipe with shape model 422 Made in England.
This Dunhill, with Box and Sock, has definitely been modified ( I had a professional pipe repair person reduce bowl height---- simply to personally smoke during shorter periods of smoking time. It still remains in excellent condition, with no cracks nor tenon join up issue ( tight). The only real-issue may be a very small chip in briar on upper side of where stem joins shank ( see pic 4).
There is some rim darkening, and along with fact the bowl height has been reduced a few mm, plus the small chip, is reason I AM LISTING THIS RARE, RED BARK COLLECTIBLE DUNHILL FOR-OVER HALF ITS VALUE---- A great price & rare DUNNY for some Dunhill devotee. Pipe was made approx 40 yr since its production in 1972, and comes with ORIGINAL BOX & DUNHILL SOCK.
It'S a non-filter,with a push type saddle stem—rare and definitely collectible.
These DUNHILL RED BARK pipes were only made by Dunhill for a short span of time in the Seventies—- you are thereby seeing an “ extinct pipe model” made by Dunhill.
The pictures are clear and crisp so please enlarge and see the reflection of what IS—- much better than anything I could ever write in description.
