[QUOTE="Swede, post: 597291, member: 5139"] One of my quests had been realized-a made in France briar pipe which seems to have certain French flair in my eyes. This is a Ropp Virgin De Luxe 951 with cursive COM label. I'm pretty sure the band is not original as it obscures part of the nomenclature, but it's nicely done and the band has a mark. The mortise is in good shape and the pipe looks lightly used. I like the stem, but the slot is a bit narrow. To be smoked as soon as cleaned up, and thinking a flake is in order. It is a narrow but deep bowl, good open airway and mighty clean thankfully. It is pretty light, and unexpectedly, it sits! I could not find the shape number or date it, and am not sure what shape would best describe it. What say ye? Now, to find that prince shape.
