New pipe broken, and I don't even have it yet

Hope it works out for you, sounds like a real honest vendor/carver so far!

My buddy just did this repair on a broken tenon, for a wonderful Pete 999. Very neat, that screw-in/Glue delrin tenon replacement.

I've watched a few of this sellers offerings and he seems like a well-meaning hobbyist selling his own pipe collection. I hope it works out for you. That is a lovely shape!

Psssttt... Al.... That's an 80s ;-) square shank
999 would be round
But nice job altogether ! I may need your buddy's name at some time. I've got a box of estates and one of them has a crack in the tenon. I'll let you know when I get to it

I was referencing the Pete 999 in my friends blog, which is most definitely a 999.

Whoops... I thought the pics here were the ones from the blog... guess I should have checked the link... my apologies ;-)

No worries, I love the 999 shape (and the shape of this one!). Be sure to check out that little beauty in the blog, and the neat repair. Hopefully slownumber has a good outcome.

I recently got the pipe in the mail. Took it out of the box, put the two pieces together and they fit well. Long story short, pipe fits together nicely, when assembled you can not tell it is a repair and it smokes like a dream. I really like smoking this pipe and it holds well. Glad I got the repair done and the pipe sent to me. Thanks for the advice peoples.
