Not sure what I bought

[mano]

To my surprise my $60 offer on this $85 BIN was accepted and I'm not quite sure what I have as it's for my son.

It's described as a 3 star BREBBIA PURA PRESIDENT STERLING ARMY SMALL BENT PIPE
Not that it matters much, but I'm also not sure about the shape. Is it a Bent apple, Diplomat, Prince or Ball?

Kinda hard to tell from the one pic but I'd call it an apple, almost appears to be a slight panel to it.

Regardless, I love a Cumberland stem and really prefer an Army mount, looks like a nice pipe mano!

I'd say bent apple. I think Brebbias are worth much more than what they cost.
I think you picked a winner.

Wow, that's a gorgeous pipe! I love the stem and silver band.
I'm also going to vote on bent apple but my shape chart is on the other computer, so I may be wrong.

 

[mano]

Thanks all. If you scroll down a bit there are a slew of pictures.
I'll probably buy another pipe for myself and give my son the pick of the two.

It's kinda like a bent tomato/apple... I love the mount though, and the stem is way cool. You're son is a lucky man!

Ah, missed that at first.

I'd say you did well on that purchase mano!!

Great purchase! Looks like an apple. Stem might be lucite, but if it is Cumberland than I am so jealous. You son should love it!

Are the walls of an apple supposed to be so thin?
Too thin for my tastes. But looks like a keeper.

I might add that it looks to have a decent cross grain.

Judging from the birds eyes.

Every Brebbia I've ever seen has been a very pretty looking pipe, and that one is no exception.

 

[sincityjeff]

Yup, That looks like an apple shape. Very nice.

 

[sherlock]

Ill vote an apple too. Nice find!

 

[markw4mms]

Yep, that's a bent apple... very nice pipe!
