I'm not quite sure what the dates of the so called "Copenhagen Era" are, but the pipes from this period carry a "Copenhagen" stamp.

Some of the best carvers in the business worked at the WO Larsen shop during this time and it's a reasonably affordable way to get pipes carved by Teddy Knudsen, "Former" Nielsen, Jess Chonowitsch and Tonni Nielson (among others).

Even the machine frazed pipes from this period are incredibly well made and provide an excellent smoke. There's not a bad one in the bunch I own.

Here's a link to more info about the Larsen shop:
