It will good to see it after you have worked your magic on itWell, there are plenty of spots where it shows why it was relegated to a 2nd line.

So, did one of you nab this one?
English Nickel Plate? :: British Pipes
I guess my expectation when looking at a British pipe that has a silver band and cap is that it is silver. But it makes sense that there would be lower priced nickel plate models. I’m watching a BW The Gem pipe on EBay with cap and band with a horn stem. The “hallmarks” aren’t close to...pipesmagazine.com
I considered it too, but there were a few factors (size like you said, among them) that led me to pass. Hopefully whoever bought it can restore it to smoking condition (if that's their desire) while keeping it intact. It's a horn stem (which tend to split) and the pipe itself is painted on with some dark paint (doesn't look like "stain" to me).I was considering it, but opted to pass. I decided there were bigger pipes I might enjoy more.
It’s an amazing survivor. This pipe would have originally been made for a window display.
This is a particularly interesting pipe for a couple of reasons. There’s the type of logo stamp that’s different from the logo stamp that’s still in use at this time, pointing to an overlap and there’s the dual smoke hole bit, like the “bite proof” bits that I’ve seen on other much later pipes, the earliest I’ve seen.I was going to take a swing at this one, but we were at my granddaughters soccer game and I forgot. I likely wouldn't have gone this high, for a twin-bore mouthpiece.
