Picked up my first briar today, from what I have found its at least a decent deal. Only time will tell on the smoke quality. Got the stand and pipe for $13.
WDC Milano Hesson Guard pat 1855800 Banded with a metal tenon.
Here is a pic with just a little clean up, scrubbed a few years of neglect off of it. Stem is now the olive yellowish instead of black. Looks to be very lightly used, less than the cob that I started smoking yesterday.
I think I will take it down to natural briar and see how I like it, the grain is pleasant to me as it is though.
Image coming shortly.
Edit: Sorry couldn't fix the picture it is locked, but I did correct the capitalization in your title per Rule #9. L.
