Update: The pipe arrived this afternoon. Just spent a few hours cleaning it up.
I tried the epoxy putty to fill in the missing chunks of horn. I wish I had been a little tidier about it, but it sanded down pretty smooth and flush with the horn. Doesn't look *too* bad.
Also had to tighten the stem up a bit, but otherwise should be in fine smoking shape. I have a busy day tomorrow but I'll try to make the time to break it in. Nice wide bowl, should do well with English blends.
