Barling Trafalgar Fossil 1822 The Barling Trafalgar 1822 Fossil is a classic English bent billiard that has been sandblasted to bring out the exquisite grain on these quality briar root blocks before staining with a rich dark chestnut stain. Each pipe comes with a hammered nickel band and the classic lions head metal inlay on the stem. The name is a tribute to Trafalgar Square, just half a mile from Golden Square where Benjamin Barling first registered as a jeweller in 1820.
