Rare Antique Chamois Hoof and Goat Horn Pipe

This is a rare piece, research suggests that it dates from circa 1880 and is probably Swiss or French in origin, it is constructed from a small goats horn with a Chamois goat hoof and a horn mouthpiece, set into the horn bowl is a Stanhope, a small round piece of glass which contained a miniature picture, the one example of this pipe I can find for sale in the United States at the bizarre price of $723 suggests that the Stanhope contained a picture of two nude ladies, scandalous in its day but sadly the picture has gone from this piece, it is in otherwise very good condition but has been used, it measures 5.25 inches long.
