Ya think...?That bamboo section is not intended to come apart!

Never seen a Ch. countryman with a bamboo extension before and I do not like it one bit, it makes the pipe look too massive and out of balance. Aside from that is the countryman my absolute favourite Charatan.The bamboo is original. Those Countryman frequently came with Bamboo. Not my cup of tea, but I've seen enough to determine they must have had some popularity. (The Countryman is my favorite Charatan)
It makes the cleaning a lot more easier
A good fishing rod herhaps ?I figured it might be a convertible... You can sport the bamboo extension when you’re feeling’ regal, or go shorty when you’re goin hipster.
Agreed, I've noticed it with certain Danish pipes. It's the helicopter money.Apparently estate pipe business is booming again.
Blymey, what prices ! I really should start selling
I own a Putney and a Blythe, which is the rusticated version of this shape. Both are 8 dots.Putney's are a great shape, I don't recall ever seeing an Eight Dot. This one did quite well.
Yikes! Do you remember what year you bought them?I own a Putney and a Blythe, which is the rusticated version of this shape. Both are 8 dots.
Can't believe that price. Wow! I paid about $40 for mine
It looks original to my eye, the dots symmetry looks correct and the button seals the deal, to me.Awesome pipe, awesome price. The stem looks to be somewhat overpolished .
Is it the original ? The dots look to be elongated in the right "direction".
2011. To be fair, they were part of a group of pipes that included a bunch of 8 dots, some 4 dots, a couple of Blue Ribands, and a Barling Straight Grain, all mint, that cost me a little over $400.Yikes! Do you remember what year you bought them?
I gave that Pete a shot, but it went through the roof. Obviously someone absolutely had to have it.A mint 804 brought less than I would have guessed. This one I guess is a Sandblast but looks more like a carved Sasieni Rustic finish
