Stunning Peterson \"Lestrade\" Shape Irish Seconds Briar Estate Pip For Sale

This is a genuinely striking pipe — a full-bent apple built on the \"Lestrade\" shape mold (XL23), one of Peterson\'s more distinctive oversized designs, originally introduced as part of the Return of Sherlock Holmes series. The proportions and curve on this one are exactly what collectors look for in the shape: bold, confident, and built for a satisfying clench.

This piece carries Peterson\'s \"Irish Seconds\" stamp — a legitimate, factory-applied grading designation Peterson has used for generations to mark pieces with minor cosmetic imperfections that don\'t meet standard-line cosmetic requirements, even though the pipe itself is fully functional and genuine Peterson craftsmanship start to finish. In this case, that means two to three small fill holes in the briar, visible on close inspection but doing nothing to affect the smoke or structural integrity of the piece.

Stamped \"Made in the Republic of Ireland,\" smooth briar finish throughout. This example does not carry a sterling silver band.

An honestly gorgeous pipe carrying real Peterson pedigree and a genuinely eye-catching shape, at an Irish Seconds price point that makes it an easy pickup for a collector who wants the look and the history without chasing the full silver-mounted series price.

Carefully packaged and shipped from Seattle, WA.
