Hello, I definitely confirm this is an army mount, which means simple plugin (the stem is on one part and there is no tenon). Don't mix with spigot mount, which is metal inside metal. I hope you'll like this Dunhill, unadoptedlamp. :)- lightmyfire

Horn stemmed vintage Ropp
Horn stems offers different feelings. The first thought coming to my mind is that it will be more and more rare in the coming years. Most of horn stems are now coming from old stock.

Peterson Question
> Dave and other restorers- love to have your thoughts on that. I just believe it isn't worth the work, this pipe is burn out, and I respect this end, of course, there are still things doable, but for me it would be a case of 'aggressive therapy' :lol:- lightmyfire

Help with two pipes (estate and new)
