As some may recall, I broke the shank in a pipe (while cleaning it) that was a gift and I posted here asking how to go about fixing it. joeman and piffyr both PM'd me with generous offers to fix it for free. I saw piffyr's PM first so I sent it to him and I just received it today. It looks amazing and better than new. He went above and beyond what he had to do and I am very grateful.
My pictures would not do it justice - so here are some he took.

After:

Thanks so much!!!

You're very welcome, Mr. Blues. I'm glad that you're pleased with it.
For those that might be interested, here's the repair (left tenon in the "after" photo is the replacement):

Oh, my! What might have caused the tenon to have reached that condition? Almost looks like something chewed it to hell.

I was cleaning it with rum and I went to put the stem in, it felt real tight so I went to pull it back out and then it broke.

C'est Une Job' magnifique,some week ago something similar happened to My Savinelli Bing's favorite,(still on the the way to the repair shop in Germany)though the tenon on that Bing's pipe were of a bit softer material.

No better price than free! American Indians were much more oriented to freely giving than charging and were astonished by whites acquisitive nature, or so my recent reading says.
