seigol47 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) I have an old pipe my dad got in Germany during the war. It has "Berlin" engraved on one side, "1905-07" on another side, and a trademark or something like that( 4-A-CP with a crown) on another side. Does anyone have a clue about this thing?Thanks for any responses! Edited March 4, 2009 by seigol47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bainard Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Not real sure on it, but the markings with the crown over it looks like the unit markings from a British military unit. That may not be German, it may be Brittish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bainard Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I think that that may be the markings of the 4th Artillery command post. Not for sure, just going off my general knowledge of WWII and unit insignia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhanzair Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I think that may not even be a hookah... Are you sure about that? It seems just a hose to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freezerburn456 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 If it is british markings it may not be a hookah. I think it kindof looks like part of a bagpipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will_Evo Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Sup,I don't know what the hell that thing is...but doing some research ive found a couple things. First...the time 1905-07 was before World War 1. So either A. that thing originated in Berlin...or B. it came to Germany in that time by some other means whether it was war or something else. Now in 1905 France declared war on Germany...then in 06, Britain declared war on Germany...that leads me to believe it is either French or British. Anyways thats all I found...nothing about that "pipe" or the engravings besides the events around Germany in those years.-Evo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerritus Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 It definitely looks more like part of a bagpipe than a hookah to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victim026 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 It looks like it may be from the russian form of a bagpipe called a volinka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellywerker Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'd assume it's for a bagpipe too, but I won't cause I can't find any with a whip one the end like that. Unless that bit is meant to go inside the bag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inino Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 It could possibly be a tobacco pipe. not a hookah style pipe, but a regular pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seigol47 Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Thanks for all the responses!!!!!I'm starting to think it might be from a bagpipe. I guess because it had a ridged bone thing near the top (for tobacco - like a stash bowl, I thought), I just presumed it was a pipe. There is no smell or resin marks anywhere on the item.
