I picked up the same pipe Jeremy, 7mm sandblasted Billiard. My ring was a bit tarnished as well but metal polish made quick work of that.
And yes, it is a very light pipe. Almost didn't seem like briar, very comfortable. Enjoying some Dunhill NC as we speak.
Wish I had also gotten the Sandblasted/Smooth Rhodesian with the Billiard...great prices.
Congrats on your pipes, enjoy.
