Hey gang, I have a old GBD pipe that it missing the metal stem badge, I am putting it out there if any one of you happen to have an old junker, or a spare badge you took out of a old busted pipe. I have attached a picture (borrowed from reborn pipes)
Any help would be great.
Thanks everyone

Edit/Al: Moved to the "Repair & Maintenance" section, there are no "I'm looking for BLANK" ads in the Buy/Sell/Trade

Those are almost unobtainable. Your best bet is to buy an older pipe on Ebay that has the Rondell. I've never come across a singular rondell. Pipes in poor condition are often under $30 shipped. Here's one example:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/GBD-NEW-ERA-ESTATE-PIPE-/331091829549?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d169c632d&nma=true&si=PFxJlfv%252FZVyIkuJj3xxl4IRtpnI%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

or

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-GBD-Sauvage-347S-Estate-Tobacco-Pipe-France-/171182401251?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27db4426e3&nma=true&si=PFxJlfv%252FZVyIkuJj3xxl4IRtpnI%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

It would been a shame to scavenge from this pipe, but it was also under $30 (why didn't I bid on this one???)

Walker Pipe Repair offers a replacement.

GBD Stem Tags

Original Brass Rondelles

$15.00
Sorry I don't have an old one laying around, maybe someone does though!
I've only got one Digby,

yet to get me a GBD proper.
Hard to find a good blast'd GBD straight billiard,

which is what I'm after.
Good luck with yours,

hope it comes out all right,

well worth saving these old briars!

Contact Premal Chheda at Smokers Haven. His shop originally opened in the 1940's was the largest retailer of GBD pipes. He might have some stems or parts available

Sadly Walker has been out of those rondells for several years, I'm not sure why he doesn't update that item.
But they sure make a tantalizing picture...

You may have some luck with contacting Steve Laug, or he could direct you to a source:
