A couple weeks ago I purchased this pipe by way of eBay auction. I regretted the purchase the moment I "won". It arrived today and it's actually a nice little pipe. In the auction photos the pipe was shown at an angle which created an illusion of a longer shank, but it's much shorter than I'd imagined. I'm not at all complaining. I quite like this Ruthenberg.
Here's a photo from the auction....
And here's a photo I just took...
