Description

This pipe has been identified and screen-matched as having been used by Peter Cushing in the "The Sign of Four" episode of the 1968 BBC series "Sherlock Holmes", in the role of the famous sleuth. The pipes used in the series (and other productions) belonged to Cushing, who was actually a cigarette smoker and didn't enjoy pipes, and were sold at his estate auction in 1994 and later acquired privately.
