Some of the Lee Bullmoose pipes have better than average grain for a Lee. It looks as though yours might as well.

The grain’s pretty decent all around. Your categorization of it as a Bullmoose is probably better. I think of a Bullmoose as having beefier proportions, but the shape itself matches up.
A while back I scored a nifty set: 3 7-pt star Apple with a box, sales card, and sock. I suspect the accessories may not be original to the pipe simply because I have a box with 7-pt stars and these are the 5s. But it’s a nice set nonetheless.
Nice straight grain up the side.
A bit of burn damage at the front of the rim, but it looks like the rest may come off with patience.
Internals need a little attention, but not much.

Yes, some of those old extra big Lees did have some very nice grain. Excellent. Thanks for sharing.
Third generation 3-star (stamped) Dublin with a large—for Lees—bowl. Whoever set this block up followed the grain rather nicely around the shank-to-bowl transition.
For a third generation Lee, you have a real winner. Not only does the grain look tops, but the stars are in excellent condition. That is a keeper.
I am so glad you ended up with that pipe and not some hillbilly ambulance chaser who WOULD HAVE scrubbed that nice finish off with steel wool.
That’s the best condition I’ve found stamped stars in, so to have ‘em on a pipe like this was a lucky find.
