    Refurbishing a 1947 Patent Dunhill Shell Briar

    Oxi-clean hasn't arrived yet, but I've managed to ream and clean up the stummel. Sadly some chuncks have been taken out of the rim by someone else's reaming knife :(

    Refurbishing a 1947 Patent Dunhill Shell Briar

    Thanks for the input! the pipe is arriving tomorrow along with some sandpaper, a multi-head reamer, and some oxi-clean. I think I'm going to keep this restoration fairly minimal. Though I'm interested in getting further into the pipe refurbishment scene, I think I'm a bit too inexperienced (and...

    Refurbishing a 1947 Patent Dunhill Shell Briar

    Hey y'all, I just picked up this lovely Dunhill Shell Briar from 1947 off eBay for 50 pounds. It seems she was someone's favourite smoker because golly this pipe is gunked up! I've refurbished a few estate pipes in the past, so I'm not a total newbie, but I was wondering if any of our old...

    UK Market Germain's Availability?
