Well, I got the pipe and its stem is a cheap plastic thing that doesn't actually fit well enough to stay put.
It just pops right out of the stummel.
I had choices. I could send it back at my expense for a 'full refund', or take an adjustment.
I was really discouraged about the pipe and really wished I'd never ever bid on the thing.
After a few email exchanges, the seller agreed to raise his adjustment offer from $5.00 to $10.00 and I accepted that.
I took the broken stem I had from my Cobitt Shire and sanded IT down to fit into the stummel of my Peterson Barrel and I'm smoking it as I write this post.
I may never bother to get a better stem made. What I've got now seems to be secure and air tight. It works.

The bowl is gorgeous, the stem can be replaced at any time in the future so you have lost nothing. How does it smoke?
I got a little gurgle with it, but I think it's because I haven't cleaned it up enough. I haven't done a retort on it because I wanted to check out how my 'new' stem worked for 'tight'.
I think it will be great. It feels great in the hand and is nice and light.
I appreciate the positive comment about my latest lesson in pipe-foolery.

Buying a Peterson, may it be a new one or an estate, is never foolish. Even more so if it has an Army mount. You´ve done good! :D
