Alfred Dunhill - The White Spot Tutankhamun Cumberland 5128 Fishtail Pipe 25/25 (DUN820)

The Tutankhamun pipes have been created and manufactured to celebrate the centenary of the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922.

The Tutankhamun pipe is a Diplomat shape in Group 5 (5128).

The pipe is mounted with a hand-sculpted precious metal Tutankhamun windshield, in solid Sterling Silver and is mounted with matching bands. The beard of the windshield serves as handle to lift the windshield.

The silver windshield pipes are accompanied by a solid Sterling silver tamper in shape of richly decorated sarcophagus of the Pharaoh, whereas for the 9ct Gold version the Sterling silver tamper has been gold-plated (Vermeil).

The highly collectable Tutankhamun pipes & tampers are presented in a prestigious leather-bound book and come with a numbered and hand-signed limited edition certificate.

A little history of Alfred Dunhill:

In 1915, the famous white spot pipe range was introduced when customers had trouble knowing which way to insert the handmade vulcanite mouthpieces, In solution of this Alfred Dunhill ordered white spots to be placed on the upper side of the stem. This would now become a trademark of Dunhill pipes and the “white spot” soon became known as a symbol of quality.

Comes complete in a White Spot pouch and box.

This pipe has been individually photographed, so that the pipe you see in the picture is the pipe you will receive.
