The shank minor diameter of the 9BC .93” while the 9B is .86”. The shank angle in relation to the rim is identical on both pipes but the back of the bowl is cut at a greater angle in relation to stem on the 9B.it also looks like the angle between shank and bowl is sharper comparing to more rounded angle on a recent edition.Both are nice pipes....Enjoy!!
Any chance we can get profile shots of each? I was able to track down a 9B and hope to use that to get a feel for what a 9BC (pre-2020) is like.Here’s my new 9B with my Pre-Republic 9BC Shamrock.View attachment 220593

9B
Any whispers of regret or buyers remorse were immediately dissipated upon eyeing and fondling this beauty.
I was on my phone, flipping through the pics to choose one (late that night) and fortunately I found it pretty quickly and didn't have to look at all of them. It looked pretty good to me.That's a really, really nice blast.
They don’t polish the silver. I’ve had plenty arrive tarnishedI was on my phone, flipping through the pics to choose one (late that night) and fortunately I found it pretty quickly and didn't have to look at all of them. It looked pretty good to me.
Odd thing though, it came with tarnish on the silver already... ? Seems rather odd to me.
