I realised I havent posted this one.A recent purchase it came with an incorrect stem .Fortunately the tenon threads were good so
it too was sent to my repair man and a new acrylic stem made.
I wonder about the draft hole shape,I am not sure if it is wear or there is a coin/button in there.I wont find out for about a month as this pipe along with the other repaired ones will come to me with a friend who is visiting at the end of August.
I suspect a coin as the heel looks very flat in the chamber not rounded.I will be using a coin anyway so if it is damage then no problem.
