Several months ago I posted about 2 pipes I had received from an artist friend as a gift-they were his fathers and he wanted to make sure someone would use them. One was a Dunhill missing a stem, and the other was a 'London Royal' that I believe was manufactured in NY. Both pipes weren't in really bad condition, they just needed full cleaning, polishing, and of course, a new stem.

I sent both off to Walker Pipe Repair for full cleaning, new stem for the Dunhill, and ozone for both.
Here is the result:

The Dunhill stem came out just the way I asked; a fishtail stem. Not being an expert on Dunhill, I would never know that this wasn't an original.
He did a great job on both pipes, although it took a couple of months to do. Well worth the time waiting.
