FOREWORD

 |
Having decided to add a collection of Falcon pipes within my main collection, I then discovered there were a great number of other pipes of this genre. Spending my childrens’ inheritance then enabled me to get together many of these pipes with metal shafts and replaceable bowls. I actually have added in the other pipes that whilst not having metal shafts, do have a replaceable bowl system. This web site is an attempt by a complete novice in the art, to list as many of these pipes as possible, hopefully assisting others to identify their own pipes. Where possible I have added links to current manufacturers web pages and added as much of the history of the various makes where I had the information. At the same time I am always open to, indeed beg for, any further information that anyone may care to forward to me. Credit will be given and corrections or additions made to the pages here. My thanks at this stage go to Lynne Kirsten , Roger Merton of Merton & Falcon and Larry Rathburn ( his history of Falcons) and Colin Leeson (Invicta Briars U.K.) for the information they have given me. |
