About This Pipe

Dating back to the period when the late Fritz Becker and his son Paolo were making pipes together, we find this rather unusual take on the straight Billiard, featuring a lengthy cumberland mount leading to a Lovat-style saddle bit. There was, we presume, originally an accent at the end of the cumberland ferrule, though the stem still does sit securely.
