Hi @petendfred,Thank you everyone for your help, I was not expecting so many responses so quickly!
You have saved me a lot of disappointment and money, I will take up your advice and look elsewhere for a Peterson.
Welcome from Sydney, Oz
A good place to look for Peterson pipes is site sponsor SmokingPipes.
Their parent company Laudisi owns Peterson, so they always have a huge range of Petes at all price points.
Use the “search” function to narrow down your choices.
The pipe you see in the photos is the pipe you will end up with.
Also look at their estate pipes Section.
You may find the shape you want at a discount. Their estates arrive in a cleaned state.
Happy hunting
