Dunhill had a name for this shape but neither I nor anyone I've asked know what it is. Whatever, it's extremely unusual and in beautiful condition. Nomenclature, on the bottom of the bowl, is: "550" over "DUNHILL SHELL" over "Made in England" followed by an underlined "8" over "Patent No. 417574/34." The little teat of a "shank" appears to be aluminum. The pipe will be delivered in a nice suede leather pouch. If you can shed any light on this shape, I would appreciate hearing from you.
