No, unfortunately I missed that listing. Thank-you for the link!
I find it interesting that the pipe in the listing is stamped "Jost's" whereas the one which I purchased last year was simply stamped "Jost." How were the pipes which you purchased at that same time stamped? The reason for my question is this: perhaps the "Jost's" stamp was indicative of pipes which were made by their pipe-maker, while those stamped "Jost" were made by others; that, or I was duped and purchased a fake.

Like the cant on that bowl, and the saddle stem with that pipe. Good price if in good shape.
