Sorry no picture yet; but my Christmas XL90 came in and the copper looks as it should.I just got an email back from SmokingPipes and was told the ferrule is solid copper, without a coating.
I don't know what was going on with the one I got, but my eyes didn't like it.
With this information I may give it another shot. I don't mind shiny copper or a nice patina on it, just didn't like whatever was going on with that first one...........
Great combinationSorry no picture yet; but my Christmas XL90 came in and the copper looks as it should.
I'm very pleased with that. I'll break it in soon enough.
I should be getting my hands on some Christmas Cheer pretty soon - as a new blend to me - and I think they'll companion to begin with...
Another tricky restoration - since I insist on having just one 9s/ xl90 pipe in my collection this de luxe from 1971 will be replacing my modern XL90 Army

That’s a lovely pipe. Great work.



Those XL02 bent apples are my favorite shape. Lovely Petes!About two months ago I had only one pre-republic Pete in my collection, but I wanted a pre- rep system, so I messaged someone in the forum to ask if he would sell me one of his amazing Petes. This was answered by a crazy act of generosity- I received multiple pipes and accessories as a gift...this absolutely confirmed what I already knew - that the pipe community is just one of the most wholesome ones out there.
As soon as I received the package, my luck with finding these beauties changed completely.
I was doing some cleaning up and decided to take a photo of some of my Pete's and share them with you, also two of the gifted ones are in this photo.View attachment 425999

Those are all 03s - i am getting a XL02 premier next week, in the hopes that I start liking the shape... Up to this point I have always perceived it as a bit too"anatomically correct"Those XL02 bent apples are my favorite shape. Lovely Petes!
Including the rhodesians, the straights and a few more pipes, which are in transit, it has to be around 20So how many pre-republics are you up to?
