I've not come across one of those for sale, but will keep my eyes open. I stumbled across the random hard to find pipe every now and then.

My first Peterson was a made in Ireland 307. It is a good pipe and is in good shape. I will probably have it forever
I've been lucky then; I've never bought a bad Pete or Savinelli. I have smoked some of mine badly however before I knew what I was doing and learning about shapes and sizes and sipping. I have had other brands I found to be less desirable to smoke (to be polite
).

About 4 years ago. One of my earlier pipe acquisitions in the overall scheme of things. I didn't even know it was a Peterson in the beginning - it was just another pipe in a shape I liked. I would prefer a P-lip but it got me on the path. My 2nd was likely a 314.
A) It was likely a flaw that needed covering
B) I don't mind it personally, I think it was a secondary line. Price was probably reasonable.
C) I often prefer a little texture under the fingers
D) I don't expect it on higher grade / costlier pipes
Found these unsmoked beauties.

Yep-last week. The seller has sold 3 of the 4, one at a time - mine has a 2001 HM, so a very early example.
I saw that one, I might have even bid on it but I can't remember. Good for you. It's a gorgeous pipe.

Only one I have of that shape and I'm not sure I've even seen any other ones?
They show up from time to time. There's two on eBay right now and this one ended recently. I've got one with a silver band and a custom tapered, acrylic stem.
I see that one has no rustication so mine is even more of a 2nds line...
I won't buy more though - I'm really that enamored with the P-lip that I don't intend to purchase anything else for now.
Here are some Peterson 8's (313) - perfect size for a short, but not too short, smoke.
Top-left is a 1902 meer that is not quite an 8, but it's the best I can do. Top-right is a 'Hand Cut' (Larrigan) blasted 8S with the Larrigan stem bend. Bottom left is a 313 'Special' which doesn't have the right stem bend, making me think Larrigan did not make this one, even though he was usually involved in special runs. Bottom right is a clay 8. A bent 8 morta would definitely be a holy grail pipe, but we don't even know that Peterson sold any bent mortas.

I am very happy with it. It's also a great smoker.
