There a two very small dings but nothing that cant be removed with a little steam and patience. I dont see a single fill on this pipe so it must've been the lighting on the pic the seller posted. It's in phenominal shape for being 39 years old.

Dang I’ve really been trying to find a Mark Twain. Lighting on pictures can make pipes look completely different. Happy you got a good one!

I was showing that auction to my wife the Wednesday before it ended, the price was up to $700 with 29 bids, but when it ended it was back down to your bid. Did you see that, or did my eBay spaz out?

It did go up to 700.00 and that's when I tapped out. For some odd reason the bids from the other bidder got canceled so it went back to my highest bid. I think the other bidder may have been fraudulent.

Two bidders canceled their overly enthusiastic bids.

Pretty much. Lucky for me.

Yeah whoever owned and restored this did really good job

If I bought this from you, then I tip my hat your way. It's a beautiful pipe.

Not I though I wish I were either of them

You bought them from another forum member via me as a consignment.

My comment about the two bidders canceling over zealous bids wasn’t speculation, I was telling you what actually happened.

We aren't fooled by that at all sir.

When I said that I meant it's the last one left, I had about a dozen. I am slowly divesting myself of pipes and generally keeping my favorite of each maker.

 

[recoilrob]

Can you post some closeups of the various stamps?

 

[recoilrob]

Is the pipe a "Deluxe"? if so it could have had a metal P as early as the 1953ish. But the .925 stamp was not used in by the Irish assay office until 2002.

Does it have a tenon extension (condenser)?

This is my consolation for not winning that Mark Twain. Lovely new 2s.

Scored Two Mark Twains! The smooth is 1984 and the rusticated is 1986! They are in amazing condition.

Awesome! I have a poty ‘22 that I got off another generous forum member here, and it’s one of my favorites. The original Mark Twain’s are something else though

This is my Aran 150. Thoroughly enjoy it. Just thought I'd share.

Excellent pick ups! ️

Figured the ring grain freaks out there like myself would enjoy seeing a few photos of my overpriced but truly stunning Pete 11s supreme.
I’ve looked on with envy at some of the supreme sandblast pipes guys have shown recently, and when this one popped up I figured why not. The 11s is right down my alley too, so that was nice. At the price these go for a guy can get a very well made and beautiful commissioned pipe exactly to their specs from a talented artisan, but…I see one of these in the collection to be worth it.
Foolishly, I didn’t document the pipe very well before I started smoking it, and it has colored up quite quickly. In my eye it’s starting to look really good now, getting some beautiful patina.
(Don’t judge the dirty range top in the background of the photos, best lighting I could find lol).

I just got a delivery of this
PETERSON'S
MADE IN THE
REPUBLIC
OF IRELAND
XL9S
I can't take pictures of the silver stamp with my phone, and I can only make it out up close to my eyes. I'll have to see if I find a magnifying glass. Meantime, this drawing is the best I can do to show it. Seems like an "O" for 1980. But it seems a little tilted, and has what looks like apple stems from the top, but that could be scratches. And the other 2 are even worse and not legible at all. Also the wear gap is nearly gone, but seems functionally tight.
But look at that blast!
I was searching for a Mark Twain, which I don't know if I'll ever come across, but this found it's way to me.
