The lack of attention to cleanup after shaping and that rough draft hole would steer me away.
Not uncommon with even the highest quality factory made pipes, and nothing that bothers me. Why remove wall thickness to remove a couple of shallow indentations that will quickly fill up with carbon?

Same as chamber coating; presentation.
Ehh..Doesn't seem to affected anybody's appreciation of fine old Britwood. I would be concerned if there were any large sandpits in the walls, that sort of thing, but a jig mark? Nope. Doesn't affect the pipe at all. In this instance, presentation is like grain, you can't smoke it.

Now I know why the wife set up the bay account on her phone only. All I can do is look as a guide to feel better about the price payed. Tried to convince her that it is better than the stock market but no luck !
