Seeking European based repairer for old meerschaum pipe

[paulfg]

As my usual repairer is no more I need recommendations for a European based repairer who can cut me a new acrylic stem for my old meerschaum pipe.
This would I guess involve keeping the silver collar/threaded tenon from the old stem.
Unfortunately I broke the button when forcing the pipe cleaner through (I was warned they are fragile)

Come on you European members ( could include UK,as I have a way of getting the pipe there)
There must be someone capable and willing somewhere in Europe.I am reluctant to send to USA due to customs tarrifs both in and out of Europe.

Agreed,I just lost a Peterson POY that I sent back to Dublin. Ireland customs refused it twice,despite having the custom form Peterson sent me. Tried it twice, at $34 for each post.

Did you get it back?

Nope, last seen on the USPS site as "Departed Ireland", on August 11th. Conor at Peterson, has responded to my emails, when he checks the tracking it says "with Postal Agent", he nor my PO knows what that means. I think it means "lost".
