This was my final project for the weekend, a Royal Crown Windsor. I was lucky to get the pipe with the box and sock for under twenty bucks on "the bay". I've had it for a while but lacked the courage to take on the refurb project thinking I might do more harm than good. But after a few months of experience I have a bit more confidence and am pleased with the results.
From what I read on the Web, Royal Crown pipes were Hardcastle seconds. My observation is that this is a quality pipe, at least it's one of the better ones in my humble collection.
