[QUOTE="Rad Davis, post: 31081, member: 34"] The Ben Wade freehands marked "Made in Denmark" were all made by Preben Holm, as far as I know. They had several designations, such as "Danish Hand Model" 100, 200, ??? and a bunch of others including Golden Walnut, Fancy, and Crown, I think. 5-6 years ago they were all selling at premium prices ($200-300)on Ebay to about 8 people. The ones stamped "Preben Holm" went for much more. Rob Cooper had sort of cornered the market on anything Preben Holm and did a grand job of romancing the brand. I remember one estate Preben Holm going for over $900, and it had a hole in the front wall of the tobacco chamber where the maker had overshot just a little when he drilled the smoke hole! The bloom is off that rose now. Rad [/QUOTE]
