BARLING TRAFALGAR FOSSIL SADDLE BENT POT 9MM BRIAR PIPE

with Sterling Band

"With the ‘Trafalgar’ series we want to celebrate the kick-off of our Barling revival. 2020 we managed to secure the international name rights.

After almost 30 years of dormancy we want to tie the knot to the best of times of this British classic brand. We are committed to the legacy of the Barling family, and want to offer the high quality pipes that once made the brand famous throughout the world.

The Cape Trafalgar is located south of the Andalusian city Cadiz and west of the Strait of Gibraltar. It was here, where the British Admiral Nelson defeated the Spanish-French armada and became the hero he is known for today. He sank 20 enemy ships, without losing one of his own. Nonetheless he got mortally wounded in the battle, but his victory laid the foundation for Englands naval supremacy that lasted over 100 years.

In 1842 a 51 meter high monument was build in his honour in the center of Trafalgar Square in London. He is surrounded by four large bronze lions.

The lion is not only the heraldic animal of the British crown, but also of London. Thousands of lion pictures can be found integrated in the cityscape.

Instead of using the well-known crossed Barling logo, we chose a sterling silver lion’s head to celebrate the beginning of this new era. The additional application at the stem is also made of massive sterling silver.

Darling, where is my Barling?"
