Here's my latest fixxer-upper from the box o estate pipes sent by Mother.
It was in ok shape, just a blackened and slightly misshapen rim, a stinger that had probably never been cleaned, and some nicks and scratches. I'm no authority on stingers, but this one seemed unusual. I guess it would come in handy if things got out of hand and you needed to shank a m*****f*****, as long as he was very small or you had a clean shot at an eyeball.
I ended up sanding the whole thing and giving it a new coat of paint. I think it looks quite lovely, very nice grain.
The only marking is on the shank, and I thought it said "Rossi". I was searching the web trying to figure out a date, and learned that the Rossi logo looks nothing like this one.
If anyone knows what this is, please fill me in. I will report back to Mother with any findings. This will provide much needed reinforcement to my current first place position in the Machiavellian struggle against my sisters for the title of Favorite Child.
