Very nice, congrats!
I wonder if the stem is original, though. I'm certainly not an expert, but I've never seen a Dunhill with a tapered stem that is "pinched" like that.
Here's what I mean:

Jarit, I was thinking the same thing. The connection between the shank and bit also looks a little uneven (at least from the photo). But even if it is a replacement stem, I'm willing to bet if it's of decent age it'll yield a magnificent smoke.
Skapunk, do you know what year it is?

If the stem is a replacement, and it smokes well, and the price was good, you have yourself a fine deal.

Good catch. I didn't notice it at first until you pointed it out
The replacement looks like it will clench very well
Enjoy that pipe, Skapunk
