French Handmade Bent Viking Figural Estate Pipe

During the last half of the twentieth century French-made figurals became the rage like this furrowed brow Viking from St. Claude.  Most factories didn't use any kind of maker's stampings for the majority of these pipes so we aren't completely sure who made it, but they still stir the soul and resonate with the seafaring warrior hidden there.  This French handmade is in outstanding condition with a slightly conical chamber and plenty of room for a large ember and a favorite burley based blend.  Well drilled with a smooth draw, this Viking is drilled to the bottom of the bowl and will always keep his eyes on the horizon.
