So I bought an estate pipe at an antique store recently for a pretty good price. I cleaned it up and make it all nice and everything is perfect....almost. The stem doesnt quite fit right into the shank. at first i thought it might be due to age, but then the more i think about it, i think it might be missing one of those little silver bands. I was just curious if anyone has any ideas about how i could either get a new band for it, or maybe make the stem fit without the band. ill attach a picture. thanks a lot!
