Great restoration on that one. I especially admire the metalwork that really came back to perfection. I have a 999, my only P-lip, that I enjoy a lot, but I like the older, bulkier version too. That's an admirable acquisition for sure.

I'm leaning toward this one!Nice, Al.
Knowing your preference, will you keep the lighter one ?
Indeed. I think this one was at the desk of a CIA analyst during the Cold War.Nice Job! Interesting that weights varied that much. I'd bet that 1940's pipe could tell some stories...
