I did not know that the picture showed up; I tried to "edit" the post but that effort failed. This pipe was just refurbished by Ric and his gang at the Briarville Pipe Repair shop in Palm Harbor, FL. I just stopped over and picked it up today. I bought on on Ebay for a few bucks, it was a disaster, with plenty of charring, oxidation, etc. About as bad as it gets in the line of abused, neglected briars. I wanted to share it to show what an amazing job the folks at Briarville put out. I'm glad that the picture showed up. Sorry to screw up the post.
