    Army Mount

    I love army pipes, espacially the ones from end of 19th century. I use the Peterson Army Billiard (69) as a "beater". That means for outdoors and rough environments etc.

    Whats Your Pipe Style?

    British pipes: Small pipes group size 1-3. Classic shapes, mainly straight and bent billiard, smooth finish. Also pipes with army oor silver mount. Basicly the very classic vintage pipes. Italian: Big, rusticated, with unusual shapes, but billiard as well.

    Bought My First Charatan Estate Pipe

    I dont mind the issues. I also bought a Comoys pipes from the 50s in similar condition and it is pretty good. Replacing the stem , would kill the authenticity of the pipe for me.

    Bought My First Charatan Estate Pipe

    Sorry, I made a mistake. It actually corresponds to Dunhill group size 3. Which is fine as well. Thats the maximum size I am ready to go, in regards of classic British pipes. Thank you! Very interesting that this was considered large. I would love to get the smallest size Charatan billiard as...

    Good Artisans Who Could Make an Army Mount Pipe (Like Shown in the Picture)?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) I really love the look of this Barling pipe . Nowadays pipes in such vintage style are not made. True, army mount pipes are made by Peterson, Rattrays, Stamwell, but they still differ in the design of the silver bands. So I thought maybe I...

    Are Chacom Army Mount Pipes Discontinued?

    I wanted to buy a Chacon Army 42, but to my surprise its not available anywhere. Its also not listed on the Chacom website. I am quiet surprised that they would discontinue their whole army mount line. :(

    Have Difficulties Finding Group 2 Sized , Straight Billiard Pipes

    Yes, its much easier to use this group sizes. That works for me, when I compare measurments of a pipe to the measurments of a Dunhill, that has same shape. Its never 1:1, but like you said it provides an approximate range. Iwan Ries uses this system in their shop as well.
