GBD Natural (Post-Cadogan 1982 Make) Bent Apple with Brass Estate Pipe

Produced just after the merger with the Cadogan Group, this GBD Natural bent apple estate pipe still has the brass rhondelle applied to the stem and even includes that date stamping that was briefly used for a few years.  Adorned with a slim band of brass this minimally saddled bent apple has a tapered and oval shank and a smooth finish with a few small fills.  In excellent condition, there is some very minor inner rim darkening towards the back of the bowl but the slightly conical chamber is well drilled and supports a smooth and open draw.
