A Dunhill Set (1925)

[condorlover1]

Very nice pipes and a lovely clean up job. I am always amazed how people get bent out of shape over very small things. This used to happened with the Classic Motorcycle world were someone would look at your bike and then tell you that the carburetor choke leaver was non-standardard since in 1935 Brough Superior used a different widget with a nickel plated finish! Use to drive me crazy.

OK, so maybe they're not 115% accurate. They're gorgeous; to me that's enough. If banjo liked them, who would I be not to?

You misunderstood George, what he meant was that you have basically lessened the historic value of the pipes. Should have sent to a professional to do the job. ::
Also lovely pipes, if I was a burglar I would steal your Dunhills :crazy:
Cheers,

Nice job on the cleanup. It takes an eye to buy them the way they were, and see the potential of what they can be.

I don't think the OP posts here anymore.

I defended the OP once. The problem comes when he/she decides to be disrespectful to not only the preeminent pipe restoration expert on the board but also to one of the kindest, most helpful members of the pipe community. (Same guy in case that wasn't clear). This thread went over my threshold of defense.
OP: I love to see some of your pipes but you gotta listen to the actual world experts in the field. In other words, cool off a bit and then come back to learn from the best.

@Captain I have seen him post on facebook groups, he's a young guy who earns a little too much. I wont defend his douchebaggery but damn I like his Dunhill Calabash lol. Anyone disrespecting the veteran smokers and restoration experts are just big dumbos !!
